Brief Answer: NO / not usual Detailed Answer: Dear friend, Welcome to Health Care Magic Relax Generally no cause for concern People with normal pressure are at times given up to 10 mg for other reasons… Check your pressure several times during the course of the day… If you have any symptoms like giddiness, see your doctor The half-life of the drug is about half a day – that means 75 % is gone by 24 hours… Try using a pill box – to prevent future recurrence Take care Wishing all well God bless
