What Causes BP To Rise While Sleeping?
When I go to sleep my blood pressure rises from 115/75 to 210/105. Why does this happen? I just recently had CABG. But I seem to dream and when I wake up my bp is very high. After being awake for 15 to 20 minutes it goes back down and during the daytime it is fine.

hello,
I have gone through your query.Basically after CABG many a times sleep cycle is disturbed and the disturbing dreams may raise BP and it may not be serious.However if you have frequent spells like this you should get Ambulatory BP monitoring done to confirm shooting BP during sleep and then work up for secondary hypertension if needed,
My best wishes
