Scared/weird side effects

Hi everyone-

Not sure what to do. I'm 36 and have taken phentermine off and on for about 5 years. I've lost weight, gained, lost, etc. A few months ago I started having heart palp.Scared the crap out of me. I've always been able to take the full dose, drink energy drinks with no problems. I went to the dr. and discovered I had a nodule on my thyroid. I have to go on Wed to have a biopsy done. Well I was off phentermine for a month and last week went back to the "diet pill" dr and he gave me some. The first few days was AWESOME! However the last couple days are just weird. My mouth almost feels like its full of saliva, my cheeks are just achy! Its just weird. The heart palp are back as well. Any suggestions? Thanks

Hello Jenniferlee. I see it's been awhile since you posted this, but wanted to reply anyway. If you have a nodule on your thyroid, it is most likely overactive. If it is overactive, that could explain the palps.

I had an overactive thyroid a few years back and I developed 3 large goiters on my thyroid. My heart would begin to race for no reason and I would sweat alot and my eyes looked like this ----->>

I had alot of other symptoms too, but I won't bore you with the details.

Anyway, I hope you are feeling well.
