I thought caffeine + adderall was sending my heartrate through the roof, as I usually feel extremely alert on that combination. I was blown away when I finally got a watch with a HR monitor on it and found that it was barely moving it, from mid 60s resting to low 70s on stimulants. I figured it would be closer to 100 because it makes me feel like my eyes are vibrating lol.

Hah, yeah I do worry about the cardio effects of stimulants esp now that I'm past 40. I may try the smart watch route as well.

weird. it felt like your heart was pounding out of your chest as well? what about heart palpitations (feeling like your heart skipped a beat)?

my blood pressure is high but I never tested it with specifically caffeine + Adderall, I just know it was high with Adderall.
