Hello, Brenda! How are you? I'm sorry that you're having such problems.

What type of sleep disorder are you having? It's hard to weigh in on the possible cause, without knowing the specifics.

I am not finding sighing listed as a side effect for any of these medications, as reported by the FDA. The typical side effects for most blood pressure/cardiac medications are listed as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache and increased urination.

Have you ever checked your blood pressure, when you experience the rapid heart rate and shortness of breath?

Those can sometimes be symptoms that it has dropped too low. You could also be dehydrated.

You should have these symptoms evaluated by your physician, to be safe.

My GFR is 21 and my creatine is 2.3. I am stage 4 PKD. My blood pressure went crazy high in May and was hospitalized. That's when I was put on all these meds. My body is not adjusting to them like the dr said I would. I am having shortness of breath, my heart feels like it's going to pound right out of my chest. I'm on cardura 8 mg, diltiazem 120 mg, a 0.2 clonidine 3 times a day. I had a full cardiac work up in may and everything was fine. My fear is that this will damage my heart. I also have no quality of life.

I'm sorry but I forgot to answer your questions. I have not checked BP when symptoms appear. I will do that today. I am supposed to drink 3 to 4 liters of water per day which is nearly impossible for me. I only weigh 125 pounds and trying to drink that much water nearly makes me sick.

My doctor switched me from bystolic. To a calcium channel blocker is it safe to do so
