Can Adderall make my blood pressure go higher and cause chest pain?
My friend gave me an adreall to help me study for a test. He said there were no side effects and its wasn’t actually a drug its just like an energy drink. I took it about 2 hours ago and I am seeing black dots in my vision and am having mild chest pain. I already have some what high blood pressure so I’m not actually sure its the adreall
I’m sorry to tell you, but your friend is wrong on both counts. Adderall is certainly a drug, and does have side effects. The most common side effects include:
Euphoria/ Happiness
Dry Mouth
Loss of appetite
Headache
Difficulty falling asleep (insomnia)
Nervousness including agitation, anxiety and irritability
Addiction
Also, it is important to know that it is an AMPHETAMINE. Amphetamines elevate heart rate, and with your high blood pressure, adding Adderall doesn’t help. When did you take it and how many mg was it? There are more possible side effects than I listed.
It is one of the precautions/ warnings not to take Adderall if you have moderate to severe high blood pressure. I have experienced the vision dots with Adderall on occasion, but it was in conjunction with headaches.
So to answer your question, YES- ADDERALL CAN ELEVATE BLOOD PRESSURE AND CAUSE CHEST PAIN. THE CHEST PAIN IS one of the warnings that let you know you need to “stop taking the medicine and call the doctor.” In your case, hun- PLEASE PLEASE BE CAREFUL WITH CONSIDERING TAKING PILLS YOUR FRIENDS GIVE YOU. I CAN’T MAKE YOU OR TELL YOU NOT TO DO IT- NO ONE COULD TELL ME NOT TO DO SOMETHING WHEN I WAS YOUNG…BUT JUST TAKE THIS AS A LEARNING EXPERIENCE- WHAT YOUR FRIEND TOLD YOU WASN’T TRUE AT ALL- DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE TAKING ANY PILL- THAT MEANS EVEN IF YOUR DOCTOR PRESCRIBES IT TO YOU- DOCTORS CAN MAKE MISTAKES SOMETIMES, TOO. KNOW WHAT YOU’RE PUTTING IN YOUR BODY, HUN.
I hope all worked out for you.
