Detailed Answer:
Hello Sir

After going through the medical query raised by you i can very well understand your concern and i want to tell you that dont worry it will be alright you just need to be a little careful.

You just need to monitor your blood pressure when ever you fell like light headed or dizzy. If your bp goes below 100/60 mmHg then you have to take a cup of strong coffee, a pinch of extra dietary salt and lie down on bed with your legs slightly raised.

If you have taken it at bed time then there wont be much of an issue because you wont be active physically.

Hope to have been helpful.

Kind Regards
Dr Bhanu Partap
