Do you know the name of what you are taking?

If it is prescription, who gave it to you?
Is it over the counter?

Diet pills are stimulants generally (definitely sound like what you have here) They will mess with your heart - as you are experiencing. Please stop taking them now before you end up with a heart attack, I am not joking.

What is your BMI? You say you're not overweight therefore you definitely shouldn't use these. The risk way outweigh the benefits.

Please take the time to read this
Diet Pills Information About Weight Loss Pills (http://www.annecollins.com/diet-pills.htm)

You are putting your life in danger.

You are not overweight... BMI is body mass index..

Here's a chart to use: Body Mass Index Chart (http://www.consumer.gov/weightloss/bmi.htm)

You have no reason whatsoever to be taking these pills. They will do you no good. Please stop taking them. All of these side effects are from simply taking the pill not abusing it. Imagine what would happen then.

You're beautiful. You don't need a diet pill. ;)

EEEEERRRRRRR if you really are feeling like this then I suggest you take yourself either to see your dr or to hospital right now buying and taking any kind of diet pill is silly without your dr knowing so they can monitor you.

Trust me you would be the first to scream and shout if you had some adverse effect from taking the advil with the way your feeling the only person who is going to be giving you medical advice is a dr, you are obviously having some serious adverse affeacts from this diet pill you need proper help not a yes or no from a total strainger hunn.

Take your attitude away not even a med expert would be stupid enough to answer this when you are taking a no script drug that is obviously not agreeing with you use some common sense log of here and take yourself to the ER you really do need to see a dr I'm not going to scare the living crap out of you by telling you what your symptums mean to me but you Really need to see a dr.

You are asking for medical advice and people are giving the best medical advice that someone can give you in this situation. Stop taking the pills right now. GO TO THE HOSPITAL. This is serious. Anything that makes your heart beat faster than normal other adrenaline or excitement is not good. You need to go to the doctor. It doesn't matter what time it is. The emergency room is open 24/7. Go to the doctor. THere is no better advice. ANd sitting and waiting for some, won't help you any. I hope everything is fine. Please, go to a doctor.
