My dad has heart trouble. Lately his back been killing him, and just regular pain pills ain't helping. Do you think it would be safe if he took muscel relaxers, and his heart being a muscle. Please let me know, cause i feel bad that i can't help him.

I have heart problems and MS which also causes lots of muscles spasms.  I take Zanaflex which helps me a lot with the spasms and doesnt interfer with my other medications.  You can always talk to his cardiologist re this...
