Hello, Thanks for the query.
I have gone through the details given. Olmezest Beta (metoprolol and Olmesartan) does not lead to insomnia. This looks like an independent symptom unrelated to the drugs being taken or high BP and tachycardia. Both insomnia and anxiety can be treated by a drug like Alprazolam, which will quiten your mind, relax it and reduce anxiety and intern there will be better sleep. You may consider taking 0.25 mg or 0.5 mg at bed time for a few days. Or better consult your personal physician. Reducing the anxiety will also help in BP reduction also. Thanks.
