What Causes Heart Palpitations With Fatigue And Shortness Of Breath After Taking Adderoll?

Hello, my name is Dan and I am so desperate for help. Let me start from the beginning. The evening of 12/12/11 I took a 15 mg adderoll to help me study for a test. That night i experienced intense palpitations and had to call an ambulance. My heart rate eventually slowed down, and after x-rays, taking my blood, and even a urine test, they discharged me and told me I had to further complications. Well it has now been 2 weeks since this episode and I am experiencing extremely odd symptoms. Symptoms include: Shortness of breath chest pain weird tingly feelings all over my body constant fatigue periodic palpitations headaches inability to workout without palpitations also, i am experiencing a very specific pain in my upper stomach, right below the heart. when i press on this area, i get a sharp pain that usually is followed by palpitations. I have no idea what is wrong with me. I have already been to the ER twice, and after doing various heart check-ups, was told that i am completely fine. I know I am not fine, and ive been this way ever since the adderoll and extreme palpitations that came with it that night. Please help :/ Thanks.
