What Causes Elevated Blood Pressure And Fast Heart Rate While On Vyvanse?
Question: This is somewhat embarrassing but i have a decently elevated heart rate (somewhere between 105 and 120) and slightly high blood pressure (138/84) while taking a 50mg capsule of vyvanse. Would masturbating cause any bad reactions as Ive heard masturbating sends a quick boost of energy to your body? or should I not be concerned at all. Thanks
Brief Answer:
Yes it will , but you shouldn't be concerned as it's a natural phenomenon.
Detailed Answer:
Hello ,
I am Dr Mody and I would be addressing your concern.
It's a very legitimate question and I would surely help you out .
The pulse and blood pressure being on the higher is is because of vynase itself .
However the pulse and blood pressure reading you have mentioned are not significantly high and your heart can for sure tolerate it pretty fine .
Now when you have an orgasm, all hormones like adrenaline , cortisol and others are released in your blood stream which will temporarily shoot your heart rate and blood pressure higher up , but it will resolve withen 5 to 10 mins after the act and you would be perfectly back to normal .
The increase in blood pressure and pulse post masturbation is as natural as maturation itself , and our heart is trained enough to take care of the same and so you should not be worried about it
Lastly hoping you are taking vynase for medical reasons and not otherwise, as it may harm you .
Let me know if any clarification is needed and I would be happy to help .
Do rate for others reference
