I was on either Phen-phen or redux many years back only for a couple of months.

Submitted 2007-09-12

Defendant: PPH (life threatening primary pulmonary hypertension)

For the past 3-4 years I have had some medical issues but I never realized that it could have stemmed from taking this medication. I started with a really bad shortness of breath and could not even climb stairs without shortness of breath and I was diagnosed with COPD. Then about 3-4 years ago I started to suddenly get severe chest pains which I had a test done recently (Doppler ultrasound) and that said they found a blockage in my carotid artery in my neck and I went to cardio appt and she has not been able to identify why I get chest pains as of yet. I have a feeling that all of this is related to me taking this medication in the past as I never had bad health problems like I do now. Also, only when I am in the middle of my chest pains does my BP climb very high otherwise it is usually normal. I have been on anxiety medication for a few years now as well.
