What Can Cause High Blood Pressure At Night?

my blood pressure is normal in the morning and mid afternoon. Prior to bed time, around 10:00 or 11:00 p.m. It is very high. When the reading is below average the doctor suggested to stop taking the pressure medication. should the reading go above normal the doctor said to resume taking the medication. this has been going on daily for the past month. Please help if possible. Thank you.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I passed carefully through your question and would explain that the fact that blood pressure goes up in a certain part of the day, means that it could be uncontrolled high blood pressure. Anyway, I agree with your doctor that you can not take blood pressure medicine while your blood pressure values are low. For this reason, I would recommend taking low dose of anti-hypertensive drugs like lisinopril or losartan. Some diet modifications (avoid salt and caffeine intake) are also necessary.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
