ADHD medication and heart concerns

After seeing this video it helped me to finalize my decision of if I was going to go the med route again or not.  A was seen last spring by a Pediatric Cardiologist for an irregular heart beat.  What he has is called PAC (Premature Atrial Contractions), the cardiologist assured me that although this was not normal it was nothing to be worried about and that he would most likely out grow it.  With all that said there is still that One in a Million chance it could cause heart complications and well if you're a Mom, you know that One in a Million chance is One to many!  So, my concern was with a stimulant medication it is speeding up the heart which is then making these premature contractions more frequent and when you watch this video you will get a better understanding my concern.
