Specializes in Nephrology and Dialysis

Vyvanse has side effect of increasing blood pressure not lowering it. Blood pressure of 135/85 is high so I wonder what your blood pressure was before taking Vyvanse. You should see your family doctor for that symptom although you are still young for significant cardiac problem.
