Hi Thanks for posting on HCM Presenting your symptoms would have been better for us to understand you better.However, ADHD is a condition with symptoms such as inattentiveness, impulsivity, hyperactivity... even though the symptoms differ from person to person. When diagnosed with this condition, your Doctor may work with you to make a treatment plan just for you.Treatment plans can include medicine, therapy, education or learning more about ADHD, and getting family support.Together these things can help you find new ways to do things that can make day-to-day life easier. Your Doctor may prescribe nervous system stimulants for you like: *Dexmethylphenidate (Focalin) *Dextroamphetamine (Adderall, Dexedrine) *Lisdexamfetamine (Vyvanse) *Methylphenidate (Concerta, Daytrana, Metadate, Methylin, Ritalin, Quillivant) I will suggest you see a Psychiatrist for evaluation and better management options.
