Q: For several years now I have been unable to get a good night’s sleep without a sleep aid such as Ambien – during that same period my blood pressure has been a little high – is there a correlation?
A: Not sleeping well has been associated with the development of high blood pressure. In addition, high blood pressure has been reported as an infrequent side of effect of Ambien. Chronic use of sleeping pills is not without risk. You should talk to your doctor about other methods to treat insomnia. To learn about behavioral therapy for trouble sleeping, click here.
