As the title says. As someone with ADHD I’m interested in understanding why stimulant drugs are bad for your heart but naturally increasing your heart rate is considered to be good for your overall health?
In: Biology
Your body works to achieve homeostasis – a balance in all of your bodily systems when they all work together, whether you’re at rest or when you’re exercising.
When you have a drug that selectively targets the heart and raises your heart rate, that balance is disturbed – and this is not okay. Having your heart racing at rest is generally not a comfortable feeling. The heart is pumping more blood, but your other part of your body is not ready to handle the increased rate of blood flowing.
