Can I take metoprolol to slow down my heart rate caused by Adderall? I had a tachycardia event over a year ago, was recently diagnosed with ADHD and started taking Adderall, and have been experiencing heart rates around 100 while on my feet and moving. I had an isolated AFIB event due to stress and anxiety and was given metoprolol, but my heart and blood pressure are healthy. Should I be concerned about my current heart rate and what steps should I take?

I recently got my blood test results and found out my eosinophils were 5%, which is high. My WBC count dropped from 9.2 to 4.1, and eosinophils increased from 0.3 to 5% over 3-4 weeks. I've been experiencing right middle/upper abdominal pain and abnormal bowel movements for about 2 years, with more severe pain starting 3 weeks ago and recurring 4 days ago. Could this be related to celiac disease, given my family history of gluten intolerance? What could the abdominal pain be, and should I be concerned about waiting for an abdominal ultrasound?
