A member asked:
Why does my hypertension medication make me so sleepy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hbp: Not all hypertension meds cause sleepiness. Reserpine and clonidine are two which cause signficant fatigue. Diuretics, ACE inhibitors and calcium channel blockers usually don't cause fatigue. There are many meds possible.
