Side Effects Of High Blood Pressure Medicine

My husband was put on medication in October for his blood pressure . Since then (and through 2 different meds) he sleeps all the time, has anxiety attacks, lightheadedness and is generally stoned acting all the time. Has anyone else gone through this and is there light at the end of the tunnel? I need him back helping with our lives and business. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

I suspect he is not telling his doctor all that the doctor needs to know to balance his medications properly, men are notorious for this, to their own detriment. I recommend you go with him to the next appointment and describe it all to the doctor. Your hubby could just be very sensitive and need reduced doses.
