Vyvanse is a stimulant and increases your resting heart rate, so your heart rate will the higher range of expected whether you’re at rest or with activity. A heart rate of 199 could be fine depending on your definition of “light exercise” If you were running or moving brisk enough to cause you to sweat lightly and be slightly breathless, the 199 could be fine. If light exercise is walking from the couch to the kitchen, then this would be much higher than expected. You should talk to the doctor prescribing. Yvanse for alternatives to stimulant medication.
