Have the very same issue...except because I’m 79 they’re writing it off as age related.

BTW...they put me on 10mg of Amlodipine...a beta blocker to help with high blood pressure.

Since starting taking this, cannot sleep soundly. Constant upsetting dreams/nightmares.

Totally new experience. Nights turn into days and vice versa.

I’m 62 and wondering if they are going to call it age related too. amlodapine and losartan for me.

they are mailing me a heart monitor I have to wear for 14 days. then we’re doing a nuclear stress test.

You should not put up with anything that interferes with your sleep.

Poor sleep will aggravate problems with your heart.

There are lots of other Beta blockers.

My doctor had to change my dosage to take at night versus taking it in the morning. Talk to your doctor and see if that helps.
