Tonight I had to go to the hospital due to rapid heart beat, when I got there my blood pressure was high 200/180 and my heart rate was 210. I told them that the doctor put me on a diet medication and I had lost 33 pounds in a month. They tried to get blood from me and they could not get any it took ten tries. Teat was ran and they said my thyriod was to high my dose is 0.125 and my blood work was 00:55 0.01L.
Everyone is different and what might be too high a blood pressure for me could be just fine for you. From what I've read, phentermine is not usually given to those with high blood pressure. I agree that you should talk to your doctor and make sure he understands your blood pressure issue.
I also agree that you should look eliminate hypothyroidism as a cause of your weight issues.

I contacted my surgeon and he prescribed Phentermine and it has done the trick. I lost 8 pounds in the first 6 days taking it. If you have high blood pressure, any history of addiction, etc. your doctor may not rescribe it - and some doctors will not prescribe it at all. Good luck!
Does anyone here have experience with Phentermine? My doctor let me talk him into it for weight loss last June. It's supposed to be only taken for 8-12 weeks, but since I've kept losing weight and my blood pressure stays low, he's kept refilling my prescription.
I take 37.5 mg once a day. I know this drug is a stimulant, etc. and it can become addictive. Every once in a while-- like today-- I don't take it, just to see if *not* taking it bugs me.
My blood pressure was 138/85 (I think). I don't usually take my blood pressure, so I don't know what it is. This was the second time though they said it was high (last time was in June). I have been on thyroid meds for 18 years (since birth of my daughter). My med is Thyroid (USP) 120 mg. It is compounded. As for symptoms, well I don't have a lot of energy. I weigh 173, having gone down from 205 (June).
The doc ran again this week and again the platelets are normal but WBC is high at 13. High count is due to neutrophils. I am asymptomatic w/regards to infection, although I have had extreme fatigue and a lot of weird aches/pains lately (flank pain & belly pain). These pains were so intermittent that I have not thought much of them. But now the doc is sending me to an internist for additional eval. Not sure what to think - can the high WBC and petechia be related to the same issue?
Hello,
Phentermine can alter your blood sugar levels, if you are going to try using it please use it with caution and monitor your blood sugar levels more frequently... if you notice changes and if your blood sugars are becoming too low then stop taking phentermine, and seek further advice about what you could use instead of phentermine. Remember that diabetes should be your priority.
My mother is in her late 70's with very high blood pressure (systolic pressure was at 250). She's getting tests done, but they don't seem to be timely or thorough enough. My mother is horrible with advocating for herself. Her PCP told her that she may just have to live with high blood pressure. Could this be true????I don't think they are treating it aggressively enough.
With postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome one can have both low and high blood pressure. Mine can spike at times with standing. I do think that was remiss on the part of the cardiologist not to order the tilt table test to try to better determine what kind of autonomic dysfunction your son may have, since that is what they decided to diagnose him with. With the echocardiogram, with that kind of ejection fraction, did they see any defects in any of his valves or anything?
I am now on an appeal for a new treatment after being turned down by my insurance company.Has anybody
Often if you live with such high levels of pressure, it may suddenly swing to either very high or very low side with serious health damages. High blood pressure could be a symptom of some other health issues, like high cholesterol, blocking or thinning of some arteries, diabetes or kidney problem, so that a thorough evaluation will be required before treating it.
For example, eighteen percent of people with high blood pressure can reduce the pressure by taking simple calcium supplements. That study was funded by a company manufacturing calcium-channel blockers, for whom I worked briefly two decades ago. A long, long time ago, when Obama was a gleam in his father's eye, I worked in college in a behavioral science lab and we experimented with use of conditioning to reduce blood pressure.
1. those with too much fluid in their system 2. those with contraction of the arterioles forcing the pressure to rise 3. those with a high heart rate forces pressure to increase. Someone can also have a combination of these problems as well.
So without additional info I cannot say if diet, lifestyle changes, or medication is what she needs. I can tell you this: you must take care of it as high blood pressure slowly destroys all end organs (brain, liver, kidneys, heart, lungs).
Hi,
I am in limbo too with an MS dx but I was dx with transverse myelitis. I experience the same thing with my blood pressure. Also my heartrate is all over the place too.It seems to really like to happen when I' laying on my left side trying to go to sleep. I asked my neuro about this and he said that you can have damage to the autonomic nervous system too sometimes.And that will cause BP and HR abnormailities.
