Sorry to hear.: Your friend should consult a physician & see if there is a possible link between her current health problems & her use of this supplement. Diet supplements are not a very well regulated industry & much harm has been caused by diet products sold at pharmacies & nutrition stores. Many of these pills have already been taken of the market, most notably those containing ephedra or ma huang.

Natural doesn't=safe: I wanted to research what the ingredients of ez slimdia are but google warns me their websites "may harm my computer." which is not a good sign. Just because something is natural does not mean it is safe. Most weight loss products contain stimulants which could cause the symptoms you describe.It is impossible for me to know if her problems are due to this but it's possible.She should see a doctor.
