Does Cyclobenzaprine Cause Increased Pulse Rate?
I had CABG surgery in 2011. Bypasssed 3 vessels, the 4th (LAD) was 100% blocked. During surgery 3 thoracic nerves were severed near the spine - this is merely an opinion from the symptoms, I have no actual diagnosis other than chronic chest wall pain following thoracic surgery. The pain clinic I attend has given me cyclobenzaprine, 10mg 3x/day for pain/muscle spasms. My pulse has increased - maybe doubled. It is 120+ at rest. I am willing to bet that cyclobenzaprine has caused this. What say you?

Hello,
My answer is yes.
It may cause heart problems like:
Fainting.
Heart palpitations (fast or irregular heartbeat).
Confusion.
So please consult your physician he will examine and treat you with alternate medication.
