I was drinking it for a month now but I am always tired and can t sleep at night when I lay down it is Ave 12274 but my pulse 97 and Ifeel I am suffocating  <response>: Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. You have achieved the desired blood pressure of 12274 MMH with this antihypertensive Chat Doctor. This is good thing. But your heart rate is very high 97 and you are also having suffocating feeling. So we should definitely rule out heart diseases like coronary artery disease CAD in your case. So get done ECG and 2d echo first. If both these are normal then no need to worry about CAD. Sometimes, stress and anxiety can also cause similar kind of suffocating feeling. So avoid stress and tension, be relaxed and calm. Continue antihypertensive
