Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
The pressure has a circadian rhythm...it starts rising from dawn and peaks before noon..
It may not be true that the pressure was higher only on waking up... Ambulatory monitoring (Holter) is necessary to document the timing
May need management - discuss with your cardiologist...
Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
