Thanks for your responses. BTW, I do have both hypertension
and diabetes, but both are very well controlled with medications at this time. I was diagnosed a year or so ago.
I just thought my finger tingling was from possible carpal tunnel. Could this be a more serious problem? I recently had a Doppler ultrasound of my carotids (just as a safety measure) which came back normal.
I know, ask my doctor. I will be going in for medication refills next month and will discuss my new symptoms with him then.
Thanks again!!
Hypertension can also cause a nighttime
or morning headache. Keep a check on it.
phentermine
Do you have high blood pressure or anything? 
phentermine
Yes, they say phentermine only works for about six weeks. Thanks for your input!
I took Prozac and phentermine
I took the combination a long time ago, probably close to 8 years ago after being on a couple of other weight inducing hormone drugs to help with endometriosis. It did not work for me, but the way it was explained to me was that this was the "new" combination since Phen/Fen was taken off the market. Phentermine can cause hypertension, as it is an amphetamine. The Phen/Fen, from what I understand, the "Fen" caused heart valve problems, which caused it to be pulled from the market. I never personally took the Phen/Fen, but have taken Phentermine off and on for years.
I've tried phentermine a couple
different times. the first time I did great and lost 15 lbs. I've kept the weight off even without the pills but the second time I tried it I didn't loose anything. I've started it again hoping to shed the last 10 lbs and I feel like it's making me really moody. I was hoping that it'd give me energy and it hasn't...this sedentary job just makes me sleepy!
Pulmonary. sm
I know a little about pulmonary. I think you should acquaint yourself with blood gas values and ventilatory settings, it is all fascinating after that. Feel free to E me if you need help.
I have a pulmonary doc who
has the most terrible cough I have ever heard. It's chronic, cause he's had it since I started typing him however long ago. Everytime he coughs the speech recognition computer puts "referring physician". So I have to go and edit out all his coughs from the report. Kinda makes you wonder why he doesn't treat his own cough.
about pulmonary embolism
Can a person be walking around with a PE and not know it? Would they be able to cough it up? I know that sounds strange, but I have a rattling in my chest that I can't expectorate. Sorry to be so graphic.
Thank you, anyone, for answering.
Thanks! I have the cardiology/pulmonary sm
book and that covers everything mostly I need but sometimes its easier to just get it off the internet.

Pulmonary embolism and work...
Just recently got out of the hospital with PE but need to go back to work right away. On the usual meds that come with this condition and feeling lightheaded. Anyone here been through same thing and how soon did you return to work as an MT? I would prefer you e-mail me privately. If this is too personal for you. I understand. I tend to be more candid than most. Also would prefer to talk to someone who has been through it.
Thank you so much.
