Do Weight Loss Medicines Have Side Effects?

My name is Mina. I m 24 yrs old and I weight 111lbs. I went into the vitamin shop yesterday to find products to help burn fat and built. I specifically told the sale rep that I did not want anything that made me feel cracked out or gives shakes and hitters and he handed me OxyElite. I took one pill as directed and within an hour my heart pounding out of my chest for almost 6 hours straight. I developed a sharp pain on my left side of my chest right about my breast and today it feels like my upper chest area is so sore. I would like to know what caused my entire pectoral muscle to be so sore now? And what can I do to relieve or heal the soreness? And should I have seemed medical attention due to what I was felt for the duration of time? Should I still seek medical attention today?

Hello,

It is not advised to take any sort of medicine for weight loss without consulting a doctor. These products in market have various adverse effects which can be severe at times with long term issues. I advise you to stop taking it and seek medical help for the same. There are different ways to loose weight which include exercising and getting a diet plan from dietitian. It will take time but its a healthy way to loose weight.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
