Hi and thank you so much for this query.

If this was a cardiac ultrasound, then there is something to get worried about. Shortness of breath on exercising often points to a problem with the heart. this is not a common side effect of adderral. I will suggest that you get him in for evaluation by his family physician and if need be by a cardiologist!

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thank you so much for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. Thanks.
