Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No, I don't think vyvanse is responsible for these symptoms.
She had blood clot in shoulder.
Worsening of blood clot can cause all these symptoms.
So we need to first rule out blood clot in shoulder vessel.
If there is blood clot an we are not treating it, I can be dangerous.
So better to get done color doppler study of upper limb for the diagnosis of blood clot.
Treatment depends on size અને site of blood clot.
So consult doctor and get done color doppler.
Vyvanse is unlikely to be cause these symptoms.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your daughter. Thanks.
