Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.

Zolpidem is a sedative / hypnotic medication and is of help in controlling anxiety and stress related arrhythmia and hypertension.

Since this is a medication that may have unwanted effects you should discuss with your doctor about this preparation.
