YES health problems: You are too heavy as you know. I would recommend both a dietitian and a athletic trainer.

Adipex: is usually recommended for short period and seems more effective and cheaper. Belviq (lorcaserin) can be used for longer has good effect on blood pressure, more expensive and less effective. Combine either with nutritional management and exercise
