I suffer from insomnia, neuroses from work on the job. Sometimes I can wake up all night, fall asleep in the morning, and then feel tired all day. My mother advised me to take Corvalol for the night, after which my dreams became deep and healthy. The medicine calms, I get enough sleep, I'm ready for new victories. It is more convenient for me to take Corvalol tablets so as not to inhale a specific odor.

I constantly suffer from hypertension, so the doctor prescribed Corvalol to me to normalize the pressure. I take the medicine clearly according to the instructions, but I do not see the effect yet - apparently, the remedy is not suitable for me because of the perception of the organism. I will ask the doctor to choose a more effective analog for the action, so as not to suffer all day from pain and ill health.
