My son is really struggling in secondary school however can’t take ADHD medication of the stimulus kind because of heart problems in the family without tests and now I’m panicking even with the tests that maybe it’s too dangerous.
The doctor was quite dismissive when I mentioned non stimulant medication and said they carry the same risks but I thought they didn’t?
anyone been here? Thanks

Same. Only saw a cardiologist for the echo (but as I said that was for a different issue not the adhd meds).

OP, Where are you as that might change the advice?
