Can Convulsions, Chestpain, Suddenly Passing Out Be Due To Taking Vyvanse Since Tests Revealed Nothing?

My son has been on vyvanse since april. The first thing that happened was at his annual medical our g.p. noticed an irregular heart beat. He ran a series of tests and nothing showed up. The next incident happened in the night he got upwith his son and passed out when he came to he was convulsing like he was having a seizure. A trip to the hospital and more tests showed nothing. More recently and much more serious, he was driving told his girlfriend that he had a chest pain and did not feel well, as he was trying to pull over he collapsed at the wheel, and managed to crash the car. When he came to he was behaving like he a had a seizure and remembered nothing of the accident. Went back to our g.p. today and they re-running all the previous tests. Is all this connected to the vyvanse?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, looking to the history given here I could say that this could be Hysteric convulsion and this type of convulsion is functional in origin, patient does it taking care of injury, and during this attack no injury happens to patients, in my opinion he has to be seen by the psychiatrist, hope this information helps you have nice day.
