What have your blood pressure readings been during the day?

This information is needed in order to answer your question.

In many cases, doctors do want someone to take such medications in the morning, so it helps to control their blood pressure or cardiac conditions during the time of day that they will be most active and therefore experience the most fluctuations.

However, since it can cause drowsiness and dizziness as aide effects, some people do find them necessary to take at night, when they are going to bed.

So, it really depends on your blood pressure or cardiac condition and your doctor's instructions.
