Hi Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..
I have gone through your query and can understand your concern.
Diclofenac must be given for your back pain. It is an anti-inflammatory medicine which can be used to reduce muscular or joint pain. It is also very safe in patients with COPD & heart disease.
No diclofenac does cause any effect to blood pressure & pulse.
You should take the medicines as prescribed by your doctor.
hoping your query is solved
