i have adhd and i get check ups every month and they say everything is normal!. I also asked if adhd effects anything in my body and they said that it just makes a little hyper and harder to pay attention!

The reason you need to have his heart checked first is because the medication for ADHD is a stimulant meaning it speeds up the heartrate!. They want to make sure he has no pre-existing heart condition that will make it dangerous for him to take!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Hi, ADHD affects the head (brain)!. Frankly, I have never heard it being caused by problems with the heart!.

For treatment, I suggest you try an ADHD diet first!. You can get more info on ADHD diet from this site:

There exists many success stories about using ADHD diet as treatment for ADHD!. This is not surprising because to a large extent, we are what we eat!

Browse the section on ADHD vitamins and Treatment for ADHD (within the same site) as well to have a better understanding of what your options are!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Uhm!.!.no I don't think so!. but if it is true then no one told me, i have adhd,Www@Answer-Health@Com

This is the first I have heard of it and both my daughter and I have ADHD!.
Perhaps what you heard was that some medicines that help treat the symptoms of ADHD (such as Ritalin) can lead to future heart problems!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

there is no evidence or studies suggesting a heart/ADHD correlation!.!.!. It prob has more to do with medication and the fact that the dr is worried about the child!. Could be your child has hypertension, murmer, etc!. which could be affected my medsWww@Answer-Health@Com

Dusty has it!. I don*t think Catfish ever had to have his heart checked!. Ask your Doctor about it to ease your mind!.!.!. :)Www@Answer-Health@Com
