Hello dear...
Side effects of Adderall include dizziness, nervousness, headache and weight loss, decreased libido or sex drive,etc.
The feeling of tightness in chest & breathlessness may be related to constriction & inflammation of airway passages...reason may be due to smoking.
Nebulisation & steam inhalation will provide symptomatic relief in this regard.
Or it can also be a warning sign of heart involvement.
So...it will be better to consult a Doctor to prevent any deterioration in the condition.
Wishing you a speedy recovery.
Thanks & take care.
