A member asked:
Could baclofen from an implanted pump cause transient tachycardia?
9 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Autonomic dysfxn: Anyone receiving intrathecal Baclofen for spasticity likely also has autonomic dysfunction, including abnormalities in regulation of heart rate and blood pressure. Baclofen may decrease blood pressure and cause reflex tachycardia, but if given by a pump, should not cause fluctuating changes. See a sci specialist for evaluation; changes in posture, dehydration, anxiety or other condition possible.
