Can Adderall Intake Lead To Heart Murmur?
My Daughter's doctor thought he heard a heart murmur today on a follow up appointment for her taking adderall. She has had ADD her whole life and is dyslexic. She is 21 and in college and thought the adderall would help her concentrate.The doctor didn't detect one when he prescribed Adderall to her. She has only been taking it for 2 months. We have an appt for a ultra sound tomorrow at a hospital. Can she have developed a heart murmur from Adderall?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
There are a few reported cases of Cardiomyopathy from chronic use of Adderall. In this situation, heart mummers may be heard. A cardiac Sonography is necessary to see how is the heart function and if the Adderall have cause any damage, or its just a normal heart murmur heard in a young patient in a normal heart.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
