What Is The Normal Blood Pressure Upon Waking?
what is a normal blood pressure upon waking? My husband who is on pressure medicine, vasotec, will not take it in the morning because pressure is 107/72 and then by evening it is 126/82. He has had a kidney transplant and a stroke in the last 2 yrs.

Hi,
Normal BP should be less than 140/90 mmHg. Medication should not be stopped. BP measurements give you the BP at that moment but does not continue the same recording. So BP medicines should not be stopped.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Vihang Shah
