Hey thank you for replying! I see cardio next Wednesday so I’m excited to see if they have some insight. The discomfort/pain has subsided a little the past few days while on vacation at the beach. Not sure if the relaxation and ocean water has something to do with it. If so, guessing I have to move to the ocean! Also I didn’t mention that the beginning of this chest issue started my 3rd day into taking a script for Adderall. I’ve suffered with ADHD for quite sometime and I finally broke down and was evaluated. Script was for 20mg of XR. I stopped taking after 3 days. Week later switched to 5mg of IR as needed then a few weeks later landed on 10mg of XR as needed. It’s helped immensely with my ADHD but might? Be causing this chest issue. Not sure. Hopefully cardio has some answers. I stopped taking it about 4 days ago too so I could see if there was any correlation between the meds and the chest issues. There could be some placebo affect to the discomfort being less. Not sure. I certainly don’t want to damage my heart if that is what’s happening. The meds could have nothing to do with it too. Thanks for checking in. I’ll post an update after cardio. Thank you. Jeff

I am 34 yr old female and also have bicuspid aortic valve and murmur with heart fluttering. I do have a tachycardia (from bicuspid valve) so anytime I’m stressed or get my heart rate high it causes pressure and skips. I also take Adderall for hypersomnia and this started to get worse after script coincidentally as well? They don’t think any pain I have is from heart neither but I’m pretty sure it is and just from my anxiousness and higher heart rate which makes my lungs work harder too and that’s when I get symptoms. I also do take Metoporal which is blood pressure medicine to lower heart rate and it helped me tons!
