Anything is possible: Having one problem doesn't mean you can't have another. Why not talk with your doctor about that possibility?

Concentration: Lack of concentration or inattention is only one symptom of adhd. Others can be disorganization, not finishing tasks, forgetfulness, misplacing things, overwhelmed with tasks, etc. Your doctor can reassess & give advice.

Could be processing : Lack of focus can be from learning or processing problems. Medications will not fix those.
