<p>If you're being serious, you may have just strained an intercostal muscle. You sure it's your heart?</p>

<p>I took 3 pills of adderall XR 20mg over a period of 10 days to study for couple of my finals and the last one i took was on Tuesday( 2 days ago) and noticed some chest pain later that day now i still have a chest pain on my left side, where my heart is.</p>

<p>it comes and goes</p>

<p>....It feels like its sore or the type of feeling you get after working out. i checked my heart rate numerous times and its fine</p>

<p>anybody else had any similar experiences??? SHOULD I FREAK OUT????????????</p>

<p>No im not sure its my heart, but the pain is on my heart side and its been there for 2 days...i dont know what it is, that's why i asked if anybody had any similar experiences..</p>

<p>Let me just remind you that taking medical advice from an online forum (especially one that has very little to do with medicine) is probably not the brightest idea.</p>

<p>But here's a bright idea, go see a doctor. If the Adderall is legal you've got nothing to worry about, if it's not....well you made that choice so now you've gotta find a way to deal with it.</p>

<p>flex your intercostals and tell me if the pain feels sharper. The intercostals are the muscles in your ribs.</p>

<p>You can also put pressure on it and see if it gets worse.</p>

<p>Keep in mind that the heart is actually fairly centred. So if it's just on the left side, it wouldn't be your heart. If you work out, it's a 90% chance that it's your intercostals. I've strained them many times.</p>

<p>Adderall</a> Information from Drugs.com</p>

<p>If it wasn't prescribed to you, STOP and do not take it again. If it was prescribed to you, call your doctor and tell him.</p>

<p>I can do whatever the hell I want, especially considering I've been to the doctor for the exact same symptom (chest pain on the left side, although this was before I ever used adderall). It ended up being a strained intercostal muscle. I'm telling him to do exactly what the doctor told me. So shut it.</p>

<p>i'm not taking it anymore, the last one i too was 2 days ago...i only had 3 pills, and its not like i took them just for fun...they were for a good cause or i thought they were at that time.....this sucks if it doesnt go away in couple of days..ill call a doctor</p>

<p>did you do what I said?</p>

<p>yeah i did what you said, that's not it, thanks tho</p>

<p>I don't know, adderall elevates heart rate. Similar effects to ephedra. I don't know if the heart muscle ever gets sore or not. Maybe not a good idea to jack up your heart rate for extended periods 3 times in a small time frame.</p>

<p>yeah thanks</p>

<p>Russell7, my post was directed towards Collegez. I don't understand your anger. You can do what the heck you like. Collegez on the other hand, is concerned for his health.</p>

<p>nysmile my response was to a different poster who deleted her post.</p>
