Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thank you for asking on HCM!
Regarding your concern, I would explain that there is no interaction between flexeril and flecainide. So it is safe to take them both concomitantly.
You should know that caffeine contained in the coffee can increase your blood pressure values and heart rate.
So, you have nothing to worry about. You can continue with flecainide intake as usually.
Hope to have been helpful!
Kind regards,
