1 year agoThanks for the reply. Ironically enough, we’ve had really horrible air quality here these past two days, which also meant I wasn’t able to get out and run. That definitely didn’t help things. Hopefully, the AQI will be more manageable tomorrow.
I actually stopped drinking coffee the same time I stopped taking the Vyvanse just to cover my bases. My initial thoughts are it’s likely at least partially genetic. I’ve always had borderline high blood pressure when in the doctor’s office, but it’s always been written off as white coat syndrome. It wasn’t until I had an afib episode a few months ago and they started doing more tests, including having me check my blood pressure at home regularly, that they determined it’s pretty much always high. Hopefully we’ll figure out a way to get me back on something for my adhd eventually. Just trying to make the best of if for now. I keep telling myself if it had to happen, now is the best time since I’m a teacher and on summer break still for the next 5 weeks.
