Hi

I was recently prescribed orlistat by my doctor and have been taking 2 capsules a day for the past 6 weeks, before lunch and evening meal. (I do not eat breakfast)

I have had a fluttering sensation in my chest everytime I eat or drink for over a week now.  It only happens whilst actually eating or drinking, not after.  I am wondering if this is due to the orlistat?  I also have slight headaches each morning which clear once I start to move around.  

Can anyone help?

Thanks
