Middle-aged man here. Is anyone else on Concerta experiencing mild chest discomfort? I wouldn't describe it as pain, but more of a mild pressure or tightness that comes and goes. Like someone lightly poked you in the heart with their finger.
I took a break from the medication and didn't feel it during that time. It doesn't seem to get worse during exercise but I do feel like I notice it more when experiencing stress.

I just started Dex and I’ve been feeling it as well, however I also have a chronic panic disorder. I feel the slightest change in my body and trigger psychosomatic symptoms. I’ve noticed my heart rate increasing and palpitating, and also a light stinging pain? That comes every so often randomly. I have checked in with medical professionals who have said my heart rate and bp has been fine. I guess it’s just part of the adjustment period. If you are worried though it doesn’t hurt to check in with a doc/pharmacist
I’ve started to get this too, any updates on your condition please?
