Heartbeat Became Very Strong, Faster And Face Turned Hot For 5-10mins. Could This Be Due To Taking Adderall XR For ADHD?
I'm a male age 19. For around 5-10 minutes earlier today, my heartbeat became very strong and I could hear it (no headphones on or anything). It was beating what seemed faster then normal and it seemed like every 5-6 beats there was one that seemed a little bit different. My face felt really hot during it and it quieted down after that. I have been taking Adderall XR for my ADHD recently (started around 2 months ago) around every other day and have been listening to my heartbeat / rate more because I saw the side effects for the pills so I can't tell if I am just being a worryworm or not.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
The medicine which you are taking is not cause of your symptoms but the ADHD having patients some time experiencing this kind of feeling, you need to control your thoughts and really need to keep low your anxiety level just relax it is okay nothing is wrong with your heart, every thing will be fine once you control your nerve, have nice day.
