When I was in hospital having arm-cuff readings every 6 hours, they

Around a month or two ago I was listening to a radio 4 article on blood
pressure drugs where it was suggested that the drugs perhaps should be
taken just before going to bed. This was to minimise the risk of a
stroke while asleep. A stroke at any other time was more likely to be
noticed by the victim or those around him during the day.

I was told to take most of mine (I take three) at night, especially the
doxazosin. It's better to be lying down if you get a sudden drop in BP.
