I have been taking equate pm(Walmart's equivilant of tylenol pm) & been getting 8+ hrs of good rest.However on two occasions shortly after getting up in the morning,I have experienced trasient episodes of syncope. I'm on blood pressure medicine (Lotensen 10 mg each AM) & I checked my pressure to find it well within normal limits,but my pulse rate was between 50 & 56 both times. I have decided to stop the OTC sleep aids & see what happens. I would appreciate any comments.
