Brief Answer:
Disturbed sleep can cause Raised blood pressure

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for the query


Tab Olmesartan is a small dose of anti hypertensive and I am happy that blood pressure was under control with this. Disturbed sleep is often known to cause raised blood pressure
Here is how you should go about it

1. Find out what might be the root cause of disturbed sleep. Some of the reasons for disturbed sleep are
i. Anxiety ii. Irregular sleeping habits iii Drinking coffee late in the evenings iv. Excess consumption of alcohol v. Clutter on the bed vi. Sleeping in the afternoon

2. Make sure not to watch tv just before falling asleep, the best way to induce sleep is to read a book in dim light

3. Exercise daily for atleast 30 min a day

4. I give my patients Tab zolfresh 5mg for 5 days, this helps in inducing sleep and has less addictive properties

5. If the blood pressure persists to be high I recommend taking Olmy morning and night. Approach your doctor with my suggestion. You will have to keep a watch on potassium after doubling of Olmy.

I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me

I wish you good health

Regards
