Hello jacobwill. Just wanted to share that my mother has long standing hypertension and is taking Coreg and Lisinaprel. When she started to get up several times during the night to urinate, the cardiologist explained that this can be a sign of the BP rising during the night. The body responds to the high BP by urinating. It is a protective mechanism. I'm not sure if this is what is happening with your husband, but possibly if he is not taking the Coreg he may be experiencing high BP during the night. Maybe you should check with your cardiologist. My mom's cardiologist increased her BP med by adding a small dosage right before bedtime.

@maryd,

I was wondering whether her doc had also told her if when her BP rises her heart rate drops?

Hello Ellena. Her doctor never mentioned anything about the high BP causing a drop in heart rate.
