Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
- There are several reasons - Adderall and smoking are the prime ones, as you know.
- The response is also typical of Anxiety / You will benefit from Psychiatric assessment and assistance / Beta blockers could also help in such cases.
- Cardiac assessment is also in need - exercise under doctor's supervision may confirm / may rule out exercise induced arrhythmias / give you idea of maximal predicted rates / and reassurance
Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
