Hi thanks for using Healthcaremagic..
There are many reasons for increased Heart rate...
Adderall is an amphetamine...This drug can cause increased heart rate...But you are telling that you took the tablet for 2 days...not taking the tablets for the last 1 week too...
Even mild anxiety can also increase the heart rate...
