Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, you should definitely stop duromine tablets.
Duromine is having phentermine. It is sympathomimetic drug. It stimulates heart and cause increase in heart rate (tachycardia).
So your fast heart beats are due to duromine only.
You already have valvular problem. And tachycardia can actually exaggerate and worsen the ongoing valvular problem.
So better to consult cardiologist and get repeat ecg and 2d echo to rule worsening of valvular heart disease. And don't take duromine or any drugs without consulting doctor.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
