A member asked:
Took phentermine for a few months 3+ years ago, lost weight, kept it off. worried about pulmonary hypertension, would this have already shown up?

No: That is diagnosed by a cardiologist doing a catheterization study on you. It is not a study lightly to be done. He would probably first want to do an echocardiographic study to study the internal structure of the papillary muscles in your heart which developed problems in the past when this drug was prescribed for weight loss. You should talk to a good cardiologist about this issue.
