I ended up waiting a week to try it again. I took the Ritalin this morning before my T appointment but this time I took all of my meds in the morning before going to the T. It's difficult because there are a lot of them but I got them all down in time.

I even stopped for the same breakfast as last week on my way home from the T (but last week I ate that breakfast before taking the rest of my pills).

The good news is I ate breakfast with no chest pains during or afterward.

The bad news is I went right back to bed after breakfast and once again was in bed all day.

Now that I know it isn't the Ritalin alone giving me a pounding heart I 'm going to try it again maybe tomorrow or over the weekend.

I'm on a low dose, the doctor said I can take two if one doesn't do anything but I'm going to try one again just to see/make sure.
