Treatment of OSA Associated Hypertension With Nebivolol or Hydrochlorothiazide

Summary

Patients who have obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) frequently stop breathing while they sleep. They often develop high blood pressure. We are not sure what drug is best to treat the high blood pressure. This study will give the patients nebivolol or hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) for 6 weeks after 2 weeks of placebo. The blood pressure response will be evaluated by 24 hour monitoring.
