What Causes Hand Tremors And Breathing Difficulty After Taking Phentermine?

I have been taking phentermine for 5 days now and I have had shaky hands and trouble catching my breath. When I told my doctor he didn t seem to think anything of it. My blood pressure was normal and he said my lungs sounded clear. My oxygen level was at 94 and then 96. I am uncomfortable with not being able to catch my breath and I find myself yawning to get more air. Can this be caused by the phentermine and will it go away the longer I take it?

Hello,

As per my clinical experience, the Phentermine is a class of anorexic drugs used for treating various obesity disorders, hypercholesterol issues and others by expert physicians. There are many side effects of Phentermine, common among them with your particular concern are:
- Dizziness
- Shortness of breath
- Edema
- Cyanosis
- Chest heaviness
- Feeling of raised heart rate
Kindly stop further dose consumption of Phentermine and you will be alright within next 72 hours of the same.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
