Heart Pulpations

I was unaware of the dangers hiding in sibutramine in Simply Slim.  Only after they recalled it from the selves it was made public.
The problem I'm having is that I have constant heart pulpations and the flutter feels like it is cutting off the oxygen to my brain.  It feels like everything goes blurr for a second and when I inhale a deep breath it feels better for a short period of time.
Please advise what I should do to rectify this problem I'm experiencing.
I'm really scared, because one knows if your body is in normal condition or not.
Best Regards
Petro

Seeked medical advice yesterday and glad to report that there is no permanent damaged.  Yippee..!
Apparently my body is de-toxing the overdose of sibutramine.
Cannot believe that the doctor actually told me that 15mg per day is the legal dose, when it is tested and monitored, not 27mg as with simply slim.
Would never ever trust 100% herbal again.
Thank you for your input.
God bless

I am sorry that this is happening to you and yes it was pulled because of the high level of amphedimine in it.  I agree totally with Jerry..you need to go see a heart doc to make sure that it hasn't caused any permanent damage to your heart.  Here in the united states they pulled literally hundreds of products like yours because of the effects on the heart.  You definately do know your own body so that is why you have to take care of it and get pro active and have it checked out if nothing else then to reassure yourself that everything is okay.  When you say "everything goes blurr" i don't quite understand what you mean by that but if you are saying that after you take a deep breath and giving your body more oxygen and you feel it passes....go to the doctor.  You only have one life so don't play russian roulette with it waiting for a bullet to fire...you need it sounds to me like a full cardiac work up....good luck and let us know for all of the others that may be taking something similar to what you stopped taking.....good luck at your appt.

It is time to see your doctor.

The problem may be benign, but the symptoms sound to me to be at a level that they interfere with living your life.  

If they get worse, got to the emergency room of your hospital.  That's what I'd do given my level of understand your symptoms.
