Hi, I am 35 years old housewife. My present diagnose is multiple sclerosis. I was given Tizanidine (muscle relaxer). I am taking my therapy as prescribed. Lately, I have noticed severe chest pain. I am not sure what to do. Every time this thing occurs, I try to lie down and be calm. Can Tizanidine (muscle relaxer) be cause of this severe chest pain?

I used to take Tizanidine (muscle relaxer) because of my spine injury. I took this medication for months before its side effects occur for the first time. At that moment, I thought that I am having a heart attack. I went to ER and was withdrawn from Tizanidine. I was advised not to use it any more. I think that you need to tell some expert about your symptoms and try to find answer there.
