yes you are over reacting. You should work with perscribing DR. to get the right dose…Ritalin type products are available in varous strengths and release mechanism–(how they are absorbed–rate wise)..

My DR had me get a blood pressure monitor and had me take readings 2 weeks before starting medication. In this way he can help guage the effect.s I have a right bundle branch block, higher blood pressure on my right arm, Pre trigger —I have no problems in fact my heart is steadier on medication. High blood pressure down-115-119 down to 105 low from 55-65 up to mid 70’s..heart rate up from 55 beats to 70 beats per minute….

It sounds like the Vyvance initial dosage was just to high…

Good luck…
