Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Phentermine contains a stimulant known as amphetamines. Although it acts as an appetite suppressant by affecting the central nervous system. Amphetamines stimulate or speed up brain functioning, which thereby stimulates the body. Amphetamines are responsible for releasing adrenaline and other stress hormones.
Increased levels of adrenaline can cause palpitations and breathing problem due to tachycardia. They also increase blood pressure therefore you should consult your doctor to stop it or lower the doses as your symptoms are because of amphetamines.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Rishu Saxena
