Hello all!

I just recently started to take phentermine, but had a couple questions. If anyone can help me out, I'd really appreciate it.

Does anyone know how phentermine affects people with a BMI under 27? I used to be over 27, but am down a little. I was just wondering...

Also, I have always had really low blood pressure and heart rate, and with taking this medication, I have noticed that my heart rate is higher than normal -especially in the morning. At what point should I be concerned with this?
Because of the heart rate issue, I am nervous to do any difficult exercise- has anyone had this problem? Did you just watch it?


Thanks in advance!

Just curious, What is your normal BP and heart rate? And what is it while taking phen?

I think it has become "normal" again. I guess it was my body getting used to phentermine. Normally, my heart rate (resting) is 75-80 and my bp is anywhere from 90-100 over 60-70. While I was taking phentermine, my heart rate went to 110 one day, and I didn't take my blood pressure, but I'm sure it was closer to 110/ 80.

I am doing much better now, and my body has gotten used to it. I just get very light- headed sometimes and can tell that I'm taking it, but at least my heart rate is down.

Hope your doing well!
