Brief Answer:
Abnormal sleeping pattern.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for asking.
I am Dr. Prakash HM and I will be answering your query.
Looking at the clinical history and query, my opinion is as follows:
1. Blood pressure at your age should be less then 140 systolic and less than 90 diastolic.
2. Some amount of fluctuation is common. However, systolic blood pressure is moderately raised at present.
3. Blood pressure fluctuations are usually common in abnormal sleeping pattern, stress, anxiety, infections or diseases and medications.
4. At present your medication is adequate, and it will take time to come down. Most importantly, reduce stress and anxiety. Have a good and regular sleep. Atleast 9 hours in night is very important. Abnormal sleeping patterns can cause these.
5. In future, try to maintain regular physical activity along with fiber rich diet. Salt and fat restriction should be there also.
Present fluctuation especially if more in the morning, points towards abnormal sleep pattern or stress.
Any further queries, happy to help again.

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for your kind words.
Do continue with the treatment and I expect blood pressure to be normal.
Sleeping is possible for 8-9 hours. Avoid getting involved in watching TV or on phone after 9 clock. Avoid distractions. Avoid heavy food or food with increased carbohydrates. Dim the lights. Practice it for few days, and in a week, you will get adjusted. Avoid getting up and watching tv or eating anything in between before six in morning. This should help you. Remember sleep is one of your treatment, so you should try to follow it like you take medications. Regularly.
