▲ 1 r/ADHD

I’m a 24 woman and I recently started adhd meds, 20mg cr in the morning. I’m also on duloxetine for my anxiety disorder. I’m under control of a doctor with normal pressure before meds being around 109/70 heart rate 85. After I take them I have rises to sometimes 140/95 heart rate 126. I’m a bit scared but also I’ve been to cardiologist 2 years ago before and he said it’s also just my anxious nature that causes it. For now my psychiatrist just told me to watch my bp and we’ll see if it stops jumping like that which I’m trying to be calm about and still keep taking my meds but once I see it’s so high I get super nervous thinking I’ll get heart attack or something. Is there anyone who could calm me down, say something that will make me a bit less nervous ?
