No, it is not recommended to sleep on an empty stomach when taking BP medicine, especially if the medicine is taken in the evening or night.

2. Empty stomach risky at night :
Low energy, poor sleep , acid reflux or even hypotension can result
Long term skipping for dinner may affect metabolism and bp control

✅ what you can do instead:
1. Have a light snack:
Bananas, a few soaked almonds or warm glass of milk with turmeric

Drink plenty of water or light herbal teas before bed

Moong dal soup , khichadi , oats porridge, curd rice-

It’s always best to eat all the meals to improve overall health and sleeping with dinner adds more weakness while taking medicine
