Are Heart Pounding And Chest Tightness Side Effects Of Baclofen?
I took one Baclofen tablet about 90 minutes ago after some house cleaning. Sat down to watch some football, and my chest is a bit tight and my heart seems to be pounding a bit. Have a history of mild valve regurgitation and enlarged ventricle. Is this a common side effect of Baclofen or something I should get to the ER about?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I would like to tell you that Baclofen can cause you dizziness , headache or body rash as a side effect but considering your cardiac history and symptoms of chest tightness with palpitation , it is indication od underlying heart disease which requires medical attention.
Kindly get an ECG and Echocardiography and consult a Cardiologist for physical evaluation and further management.
I hope this information will answer your query.
Kind Regards
