  5. I'm managing my diabetes pretty well, but I've been taking Stresnil for sleep issues. I started with 0.25mg, which worked okayI'd get about 5 hours of sleep. Because the 0.25mg wasn't available recently, I've switched to 0.5mg for the last 10 days. Now, I'm not sleeping properly and I've been feeling kind of faint in the mornings. Also, I just found out my blood pressure is 16090, but I've never had high BP before. I've attached my ECG report too. Could you help me figure out what's going on?

"Due to non availability of Stresnil 0.25, you have switched to Stresnil 0.5 and experiencing sleep disturbances and light fainting sensations in the morning. Your blood pressure is elevated at 16090 mmHg. Based on your symptoms and history, I recommend the following: - Switch back to Stresnil 0.25 if possible, as it was providing better sleep quality. - In the meantime, you can try taking a lower dose of Stresnil 0.5, such as half a tablet, to see if it improves your sleep without causing fainting sensations. - Monitor your blood pressure regularly and consider consulting a cardiologist to further evaluate the elevated BP. - Based on the attached ECG report, there are no significant abnormalities noted. - If the symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical attention promptly for further evaluation and management."
