I did hear that it messes with your blood pressure
Side Effects

ginseng, as well as all the adaptogens - if taken daily and too often, can raise blood pressure. Ginseng is meant for occasional use in Oriental medicine, not a daily routine.
Other herbs which act similar are: Carthamoides Leuzea, suma, maca, Jiaogulan, Tienchi Ginseng, Siberian ginseng, Ashwagandha.
but oriental ginseng is most worrisome about the blood pressure.

It most likely is. There were studies going on about that and they discovered that in some people it is known to cause such things. You might want to talk to your doctor about your symptoms. Good luck!
