It was for me!!! Got better as the dose reduced.
It does seem to have an effect on my waterworks!
It could be but in your shoes I would get my prostate checked out, you are in an “ at risk” age group and caught early it is easy to treat. Who knows what triggers these things. Waking up 5 - 6 times a night is really disruptive.
I used to due to fluid retention in the day. Reducing salt helped and reduction of dose. Get your heart and prostate checked too.
