A member asked:
Help please! is ambien (zolpidem) good or bad to take when you have a racing heart?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends: On what happens to you. In some people, Ambien (zolpidem) can cause a rapid heart rate as a side effect. This may or may not happen to you. In general, i try to avoid sleeping pills all together.
