What Causes Chest Pain And Difficult Breathing After Taking 'ritalin'?

I have been taking Ritalin for a few months now and have been experiencing dull chest pain around the lung area as well as pain in my spleen area. I also have trouble breathing about 30 minutes after taking it but that trouble goes away after about 15 minutes after it starting. Are these side effects anything to be concerned about?

Hi. I can understand your concern.
You will need to undergo a detailed evaluation with a chest x ray and ECG to look for cause of your chest pain. Consult a doctor at the earliest.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
