I've been experiencing this strange sensation like a needle poking in my back for a few seconds at a time. It's not really painful, but it's definitely noticeable and a bit unsettling. Should I be worried about this?

The drowsy sensation after taking Tazloc Trio 40 mg may be related to several factors:

Possible Causes

1. Post-exercise hypotension: After intense exercise, your blood pressure may drop, leading to drowsiness.
2. Medication side effect: Tazloc Trio 40 mg contains telmisartan, which can cause drowsiness as a side effect.
3. Sleep deprivation: Insufficient sleep due to restless legs syndrome can exacerbate drowsiness.
4. High blood pressure medication adjustment: The recent change from CETANIL M 50 to Tazloc Trio 40 mg may be contributing to the drowsy sensation.

Recommendations

1. Consult your doctor: Discuss the drowsy sensation with your doctor to adjust your medication or dosage.
2. Monitor blood pressure: Regularly check your blood pressure to ensure it's within a healthy range.
3. Prioritize sleep: Establish a consistent sleep schedule and explore relaxation techniques to manage restless legs syndrome.
4. Adjust exercise timing: Consider exercising later in the day or adjusting your workout intensity to minimize post-exercise hypotension.
