Atrial fibrillation means ADHD medication is a specialist decision, not a community green light. This answer will not green-light a stimulant in AFib. AFib, heart failure, and recent myocardial infarction sit in the group of cardiac problems that need cardiology input rather than a forum yes. If the change is persistent, distressing, or affecting daily functioning, bring a brief timeline to the prescribing clinician rather than changing the dose independently.
