[quote=Anonymous]So I just went to my doctor to get a refill of Vyvanse. I was diagnosed severely ADHD in 6th grade and have been on medication ever since, which has helped a lot.

Anyway, i havent been able to get Vyvanse for a long time, because I was moving and a lot of things were up in the air.

I went in today to get a doctor to write a refill and they measured my blood pressure and immediately told me it was quite high.  I have always ever been told I have very low blood pressure.

So the doctor came in and right away orders an EKG. I get blood drawn and an EKG.

They see the result and say, "Lets test your blood pressure again."  They did, and this time they said it was normal.

I didnt want to argue because Vyvanse is so controlled nowadays that it's like procuring black tar heroin- I was just like, "Ok, cool" cause I wanted my script.

They gave it to me and I left and am having it filled but now I'm worried.

I've been under an EXTREME amount of stress lately (another reason I didnt take vyvanse over the past few months, because until the situation I was in changed, I could feel it wasnt healthy) and I'm afraid that that may have driven up my blood pressure and now even though I'm out of the situation I have residual high blood pressure.

At the same time, I'm worried about my vyvanse. It certainly does make my heart beat faster and I can feel it, but I am severely ADHD, so not taking it means I pretty much accomplish nothing and/or everything takes 50 times as long.

[b]Does anyone know what it might mean to have a doctor order an EKG? [/b] I know nothing about high blood pressure but like I said I didnt want to ask too many questions. [b] Is it very serious if my vyvanse is causing this? I am only 27 so I dont want to have long term heart issues from my meds.[/b]

Thanks.[/quote]
