What Causes High BP And Rapid Heart Rate After Using Vyvanse?

hi! i took vyvanse before I had a swim meet and after two races I felt extremely lightheaded and my heart was beating extremely fast. I ve been swimming for 8 years and that has never happened. I couldn t stand and couldn t keep my eyes open. I smoked early that day but was not high by the time of the meet. I also have high blood pressure. is it the medicine or my blood pressure or what?

I went through your details. Vyvanse is a central nervous system stumulant. It affects those brain parts which helps in hyperactivity and impulse control. You took it to have good performance in swimming. That is natural and many does it. Were you stressed and anxious prior to the swimming competition? That question eeds answer. Your answer is that answer. Don't worry. To be on a safer side, please consult a physician.
