[QUOTE="Vince, post: 227298, member: 843"] One reason blood-pressure medications are more effective when taken before bed: They [B]prevent the release of chemicals synthesized during the sleep span[/B] that raise blood pressure to abnormal levels, said Smolensky, the journal's editor. After more than five years of follow-up, those who took at least one of their blood-pressure pills at night seemed to reap significant benefits. Sixty-two percent had controlled blood pressure over the 24-hour period, compared to 53% of those who took all their pills in the morning. Moreover, only 34% of this group were "nondippers," vs. 62% of the morning-medications group, the study authors said. Those who routinely took at least one of their blood-pressure medicines at night experienced only one-third of the cardiovascular events -- including [URL='https://www.medicinenet.com/angina_symptoms/article.htm']angina[/URL], [URL='https://www.medicinenet.com/stroke_pictures_slideshow/article.htm']stroke[/URL] and [URL='https://www.medicinenet.com/heart_how_the_heart_works/article.htm']heart[/URL] attack -- suffered by those who swallowed all their blood-pressure pills in the morning, the study found.
