Is this a possible side affect of medications?

I recently had an Echocardiogram at my doctors request after I had a syncopy  3days after a cortizone injection in my neck  for an auto accident. I had mentioned to him that when I left the military, my physical showed I had a sinus bradycadia on my EKG. The technician told me that my heartbeat wasn't strong and vigerous but a bit weak. My blood pressure runs a lttle elevated maybe due to the  cortizone injections that I receive for various orthopedic conditions and arthritis. My medications are Meloxicam, Tramadol,  Baclofen for arthritis and sever muscle spasms. Could any of these in conjunction with the lidocaine that was mixed with the cortizone be causing this and this is just a temporary condition?

I think you need to post these specialized questions on the board where heart docs answer:

Another possibility is to ask a pharmacist in your area. They specialize in medications and their side effects and interactions.

The only comment that i want to make on this is that cortizone stays in our systems up to a year and if you have been having injections of it you need to inform your doc if they are going to do any type of surgery on you.........i had a couple of shots in my shoulder and it relieved it immediately but man o man the side effects of that stuff is crazy...i got grouchy for about a week.  As far as side effects and mixing meds i totally agree w. Ireneo....your best bet is to talk to a phymacist......you'll get all of your answers there....,.
