Can Ambien Cause A Rise In BP ?
My father recently had valve replacement; couldn t sleep, doctor prescribed restoril first and then ambien to help with the sleeplessness. When home health nurse checked his blood pressure today, it was quite elevated. Could the use of either of these drugs cause this rise ?
