Can drinking alcohol after taking a muscle relaxer cause high blood pressure? |
Issue My back was killing me when I woke up yesterday so I took a Skelaxin (Muscle Relaxer). A few hours later, I had 4-5 beers while watching football. The next thing I know, my face is burning up, beat red. My pulse was racing at 130 bpm and I had a terrible headache. I slept for a few hours and took some aleve, and it gradually went away. I'm only 30 years old and very healthy.... Workout, eat well, etc. Best Tip There is much that is not known about skelaxin such as how exactly it works. It sounds like you may have had a hypersenitivity reaction made worse by the alcohol. It is well known that combining the two will increase dizziness and drowsiness, however, alcohol causes flushing of the skin by dilating the blood vessels and maybe the combination made that worse. Alcohol can also cause atrial fibrillation which is a fast irregular heartbeat. I guess the bottom line is clear...no more beer and skelaxin speedballs! Others I dont know about that, but i know it will get you drunk quicker. ME pulse and blood pressure are two different things. Both of those are central nervous system depressants. Likely not a smart combo of those two feel good goodies! Next time....not so much beer with the downers...maybe 2? |
