No you cant, it is bad news and you really should not be using it as a diet supplement either.  Its a serious drug...see below!  Quote taken from a pharmacology text book.\n\n"Acute toxic effects are usually extensions of the therapeutic actions of the drug. Excessive doses may cause a sharp rise in blood pressure sufficient to produce cerebral hemorrhage. Other effects (usually transient) include headache, restlessness, anxiety, tension, tremor, weakness, dizziness, confusion, delirium hallucinations, pallor, respiratory difficulty, palpitation, sweating, nausea or vomiting. Repeated injections may cause contraction of the bladder sphincter and interfere with voluntary urination. \n\nThe possibility of urinary retention, especially in the elderly male, should be kept in mind."

One major downside is the stimulants that many diet pills, drinks and bars have in them.  Another thing to be wary of is that they don't always list all of their ingredients.  I went with a shake from a company called Herbalife.  It was supposed to be just a nutrient shake (like Ensure, only cheaper).  What was  not disclosed to me was that one of the herbs was MaHuang (Ephedrine ... one of the components of FenFen).  That is 10 times worse than caffine!  It landed me in the hospital with a heart attack one week ago today after only one week of using it.  Never use Ma Huang or Ephedra (Ephedrine).  It can cause heart issues and stroke even if you are healthy.  Many other diet trends can deprive your body of full nutrition.  The safest, best and most effective way to lose weight is eat smaller portions and moderate exercise.

I dealt with a similar thing in college.  My heart irregularly papitated and it really disturbed me.  It would race up for no reason.  \n\nThings I did to reverse the problem:\n\n-Reduced my caffeine intake (caffeine has the potential to make your heart race)\n-I had an EKG study on my heart...it was normal\n-I got plenty of sleep at night\n-Realizing that the majority of my irregular heartbeats were contributed from Anxiety. \n-I began to pray for wisdom with this problem.\n\nAs for feeling your heartbeat after you eat, you will.  When you eat, your body has a lot of gas exchange during the whole digestive process.  The same gas that will make you belch or fart "pass gas" after a meal.  I noticed a lot of pressure in my heart area and discovered that the problem wasn't my heart, it was gas.  I suggest taking a TUMs or some kind of anti-acid to help reduce the gas, which should reduce the pressure around your heart after meals.  Lots of soft drinks, carbohydrates, junk food will bring on gas.  Try to stay away from those foods....I know, that's a hard thing to do if you're in college.  Junk food was everywhere when I was in college.  \n\nAbove all, if you have health insurance, use it.  Go see your doctor and ask him what's best.  He'll be able to tell you what anti-acid medicine you should take.  \n\nDo you have a lot of acid reflux?  \n\nI hope my advice helps ease things a little better.  \n\nGood luck and remember...I'm not an expert.  What I say is just a suggestion from past experiences.  If you're that worried about the heart beats, go see a doctor.

well, one thing that u could consider are fish oils (omega-3) supplements. they are considered healthy for the heart and can only b obtained from so called 'oily fish'. but as for whether they are absolutely critical in a diet is still subject for debate. u can ask ur DR about them =>

If you are refering to the dietary supplement, no, probably not.\n\nHowever, it should be noted that this is more than likely a scam. The main thing that would help with the loss of weight is the calorie controlled diet and regular exercise as listed in the product directions. Proper diet and exercise alone is enough to manage your weight. If you need to supplement your diet, do it with a properly balanced multivitamin or appropreate single/combiation vitamins. In that case, you'd be better off speaking to a dietitian to determine your needs.

Yes, cardio should be priority. If your heart isnt healthy why worry about the rest of your body!

You can take the B-Vites in the A.M..Most do this because that is where You are getting the energy. Just read instructions on bottle to determine how much B's are safe. Mine(Nature Made Brand) say...One caplet daily w/ a Meal (or You'll get jittery like You drank too much  coffee) . Mine has Vitamin C also. This helps Your body absorb Iron better. B-Vites are great.  They boost the Immune system.I also take Nature Made  Omega3 Fish Oil capsules. These soften brain receptor cells to improve thought processes. I take at night, so when I awake, I am refreshed and ready for the day. Get the odorless kind. The don't break down until in lower intestine so You cannot taste or burp or even smell the fishy taste You get when using the regular kind. Fish oil also helps prevent coronary heart disease, and promotes cellular regeneration!!!! 60 soft gels @ Rite-Aid are only $9.99. It may sound gross, but believe me, It helps tremendously. Also helps keep u regular...if u get My drift. I hope this helps!!!! Any vitamin in excess is as bad as anything else in excess. You are wise for asking!!!! Great Luck to You and God  Bless!!! J ~  P.S. Skip the B-12 @ 4th meal because You are getting enough W/ the complex. Too much can cause health problems! You are taking B-12 in the complex. You can also see a Dr. for Vit B shots to lose weight if heavy. My mother-in -law gets these and they give her tons of energy to burn fat. 100.00 a pop though!!!

I take phenermine.  Dr. perscribed, not expensive, actually you can get it on line.  ameripills.com   I take the 37.5 mg  \nI have lost about 80 lbs now.  It curbs your apetite, and gives you energy (speeds up you metabolism)  but I afraid you are going to have to exercise.  Getting past the first month is the hardest, but then you get addictied to it, and you WANT to exercise.  I took it without exercising, and it doesnt work as good.  You also have to cut your calories.  I have done every fad diet out there, and the only things that truly works, for good, is cutting calories, and exercise.  those pills just kinda help you not be so hungry all the time.    I was also lazy, and I love food like you would not believe.  That's why we are fat.  (were for me) I have worked really hard at loosing this 80 lbs, I am so proud of myself for being so dedicated.  This is a mind thing, if you really want to loose it, you have to make the decision and do it.  There is no going back.\nThe way I keep from feeling deprived of food, I give myself one meal a week that I do not worry about calories.  And only one!  knowing that once a week you can have something, helps SO MUCH!  After you start loosing and see what you accomplish, you wont want to do that.  Mine have gone down to about once a month, and Im fine with that.   Right now Im doing about 1000 calories a day cuz Im trying to get ready for a concert and i want to look my best, but 1200 to loose is a good number.   go here,  www.calorielab.com   and www.ameripills.com  put your mind to it.  I did.  And Im not the fat girl in the group anymore!!!

Yes take 100mg daily, it is widely used in Japan to treat heart disease.

To be honest the correct answer is yes and no. Let me explain. If you are taking to proper amount that is perscribed then a slower resting heart rate is a side effect. If you take too much, (I know this is going to sound strange) the effect is actually the opposite. It will speed up your heart rate. And this is very bad!!!!

Atenolol is a beta-blocker.  I was prescribed that med for a heart murmur I had.  You shouldn't just "stop" taking a heart medication.  It needs to be weaned from the system, or can cause withdrawl pains (headaches, cramps, etc).  If I were you, I would take my concerns to a heart specialist and have them do an ECG.  And when you said your heart was beating "somehow" could be relavent if they heard a murmur, fluttering, or swishing noise.  Always take your concerns to a doctor, and if you don't feel like your being heard, try another one.  It took three doctors to finally figure out that I had a heart murmur.  Good luck!

I've been taking it and have not noticed any weight loss, but I don't take it regularly.  I also take green tea pills, chromium picolate (SP?) and was taking Hoodia.  No real loss or changes.  I did hear a doctor on tv saying that everyone, everyone should take a multi and a fish oil. \n\nI have experienced weight loss by cutting back on beer (my vacation and de-stresser) and eating 1/2 a grapefruit every day, plus fresh lemon juice in my water.\n\nAs far as depression...talk to your doctor.  I know everyone says that, but do it.  Talk to him about weight loss too.  If he says to change your diet..and nothing else, see another doctor.  LOTS of folks have depression.  LOTS.  Your doctor has heard it many times and won't think you are a nut for saying it.  There are lots of meds for it, so you have options.

I have this same problem and I'm only 20 years old. I did got to the doc and had and ecg, ekg and I had to wear a heart monitor for 24hrs. Thats when the doc noticed I had an irregular heart beat. The doc told me not ot worry Its normal In some people but It's really scary. Dont ever let them tell you youre to young and Its just strees. Go have all the proper test done and If they come back normal then try not to worry so much because heart palpitations are normal. So good luck and I hope everything goes well.

No, If you have a good healthy diet and your exercising regularly, that is all you should need but if you are concerned you should contact your doctor.

Yes it is good! I have taken it in the past and lost pounds pretty fast. It does cause you to be jittery and it does effect people in different ways. I felt jittery and full of energy. My mom takes it and she just gets the extra boost of energy from it. proceed with caution when taking any diet pills

I don't know how old you are, so I can't really answer. Irregular heartbeat can result from a number of factors:\nstress, fear, etc\nlack of sleep\nunhealthy lifestyle\nArrhythmia, which usually occurs in fit and young people (which is what I have).\nIf there is no pain or discomfort and this has been happening for a long time, it should be OK, but maybe you should consult a doctor.\nHope it helps!
