My heart rate is scaring me?

I have been on Adderall XR 30 mg almost my whole life for ADD. I am 18 now and it was brought to my attention that my resting heart rate is in the upper 90s, sometimes 100s pretty much all the time. I did a little experiment a couple days ago and didnt take the meds for 2 days to see if coming off the stimulant would decrease my heart rate, but it barely did anything to help. Is it possible that the adderall screwed up my heart rate? Should I see a doctor? I`m 116 pounds. I was told to drink a lot of water every day to get my blood volume up. The idea is that I`m dehydrated, but I`ve been drinking all this water for about a day and a half now and nothings happening. My blood pressure is always a little on the low side (110/70, but most of the time its lower)

    heart is really important, you can't not just listen to people and cure your self you should talk with a doctor!!! people are not doctors!!my friend had the same problem and everybody told her, for your blood pressure drink water and use more salt in your food!! or you are nervous that you heart is biting fast! and blah blah blah.....

    but she went to a doctor, her heart had a genetic problem and she had to use some pill for that.

    it's serious, go to a doctor!
