A member asked:
Can muscle relaxant such as soma or skelaxin (metaxalone) cause tacycardia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: This can occur with many medications including these two different types of muscle relaxants but this incidence is typically low. With physician supervision, discontinuation of these medications for moderate length may help determine whether the drug is the culprit or that you require further cardiac testing.
