strattera and my daughters heart

My daughter says that her chest hurts at times when she is real active.  Is this a side effect of strattera?   She has ADHD and never wants to clean her room.  She will say it's clean but it's not and she is off to play, we will ask her did you clean you room and she says "I think so" but it is not.  Is this a side effect of ADHD or the "Just I don't want to's"

Any suggestions would be helpful to get her on track

Sorry I mispelled  Thyriod .  My daughter had ADD and was on all the meds and They check her pulse and found out it was 130 way to high.  She would get so tired she would crawl under the clothes racks or get into the cart and slept.  Always tired but could be so bounceing next min.  Also the weight issue.  She hardly ate.  very picky and I have thyriod problems in family and notice how she was not just right.  But they kept trying to say Iron, b12, folic acid and wouldn't listen to me.  I call the other doctor and told them to give her a thyriod test and it was.  More kids are getting thyriod , Diabetis, ms.  
Check on other forums on kid doctor.  The doctor which done her ultra sound  said he has so many kids comming in for those things.  Auto immune I have to test her for antibodies and see what is next.   I just don't want another kid to go though what she has gone though.  Good luck I hope you find out soon.

Check pulse if it is high check Thyiod  Add meds will raise pulse up on thyriod kids. If she is hyper and than so tired she can't get enough sleep. Please check it out.

Has anyone ever had chest pain from taking Strattera.  I think my daughter is playing games with us and just does not want to take her medicine and I would love to find out if anyone has had this issue before so I know whether she is telling the truth or not.
