A young Manchester woman has permanent heart damage after taking diet pills.

Natalie Penny suffered “uncontrollable shaking, profuse sweats and severe heart palpitations” after taking the pills, which she bought on Amazon, the Daily Mail reported.

“The pills did initially ‘work’ and gave me the body I'd wanted, but the side effects were horrific,” Penny was quoted as saying. “I was sweating so badly I'd wear sanitary towels under my arms and I woke up every day with my heart racing.”

She was forced to wear a heart monitor for two years.
