Does BP Medicine With Heart Care Medicine Have Side Effects?

Posted on Wed, 11 Jan 2023
Question: Several years ago I had open heart surgery and doing well now --I'm only 58 and in great shape. I did not have a heart attack just blocked arteries that I was fortunate to find out early. I ended up having 8 by pass surgery. 4 years later, I'm in great shape and no issues. I still take two small dosages of blood pressure medicine but that is it. No statins. I also have add or adhd, I really struggle with decisions and and sometimes all over the place although I run a very successful business due to my competitiveness and passion for what I do. I tried a .20 m of my daughters adoral the other day and I was amazed at the difference. I do not like drugs so I will look for a natural alternative. Question, if I take a small dosage of adoral for just a week while I figure out a better solution, is it dangerous with my past condition -- the side effects say, don't use with heart disease or blood pressure medicine .... but will a week of small dosage matter for now. or is there another add or adhd drug that is safer for my condition

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Regarding your concern, I would explain that it is safe to use Adderall in your clinical situation for a short period of time.
It may trigger cardiac arrhythmia but you have no history of arrhythmia.
So, there is nothing to worry about it, especially if you use a low dose for a short period of time.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
