Consumer:

The use of some CNS stimulants has been associated with an increased risk of developing pulmonary hypertension, a rare but fatal disorder. The onset or aggravation of exertional dyspnea, or unexplained symptoms of angina pectoris, syncope, or lower extremity edema suggest the possibility of occurrence of pulmonary hypertension. Under these circumstances, treatment must be immediately discontinued, and the patient should be evaluated to confirm diagnosis. Caution should be exercised in patients with preexisting valvular heart disease or history of pulmonary hypertension. These drugs are not recommended in patients with known heart murmur or valvular heart disease.
