Hello, Yvonne! How are you? Why aren't you taking them as prescribed?

If your heart rate or blood pressure is up and/or your heart function is off, that can affect your ability to sleep. Taking them as prescribed might help resolve this issue for you. In turn, better sleep also helps with blood pressure, heart rate and heart function.

The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, increased urination and hypotension.
