I tested my resting heart rate the other day for the first time. Sitting watching TV, it ranges from 95 to 105 bpm. I started a workout regimine 6 months ago and during heavy running or biking the rate soars to 170 or more. This seems high to me. The monitor chooses an optimum range of something like 128 to 158 based on my age, sex, height and weight. I bump into the low end quickly and exceed the high end within 10 minutes at the gym. I take Adderall 15mg 2x daily. I'll ask doc at my next appointment in 3 weeks, but would appreciate any comments on the effect of Adderall on the heart rate.

Thanks

I can say that the same happens to me. However, it's normally during the evening when I'm coming off the Adderall that my heart sometimes goes into the 100s. I think for most of the day I'm at a regular rate of maybe 90 bpm but sometimes I do go into the 100s. I am also worried too that it is stressing my heart.
