Ephedra based diet pills leading to hypertension. Constipation. Caffein rush feeling?

22 Apr

I recently saw an ad on T.V. saying that diet pills can aid in hypertension, high blood pressure yada yada and I became worried.

Every now and then my heart feels like it’s speeding but when I check my BPM, they are around 70-80; it doesn’t feel like it’s pumping hard either. (I suppose it almost feels like a caffeine rush except I’ve been avoiding caffeine for a while now.)

Call me a hypochondriac but I’ve also been experiencing bad constipation for months now (about once ever 5 days) which lead to hemorrhoids.

I’m curious as to if there is any relation between these symptoms?

My main question is if it is hypertension… is this permanent?

    Ephedra is not very safe. You should have your blood pressure checked. The hypertension from ephedra is not permanent.
