What s going on with higher blood pressure at night than in the morning

If your blood pressure is higher at night than during the day, you have nocturnal hypertension, and if you have nocturnal hypertension, you are likely to have sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome. Because once sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome develops, nocturnal hypoxia occurs.

A lack of oxygen at night activates the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, resulting in an increase in blood pressure at night. Not only that, but if the day and night are reversed, if you are emotionally stressed, excited, anxious, angry, or frightened during the night, you are likely to have nocturnal hypertension in the long run. It is necessary to go to the hypertension clinic as soon as possible, and under the evaluation of a professional hypertension doctor, conduct 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, clarify the rhythm of blood pressure at night, the peak and the time of peak time, and take oral antihypertensive drugs under the guidance of a doctor if necessary.

The increase in blood pressure is related to the person's mood and the person's work status, if the person is calm, peaceful, and gentle at night, and can fall asleep quietly at night, then his blood pressure will not increase at night!

If you can rest well at night, your body and mind will be in a peaceful and peaceful state, and your blood pressure will drop slowly, and it will never increase, which is a simple truth!

When you get up in the morning, your body will start to move after dormancy, and your blood pressure will gradually increase at this time, and the more active you are, the faster your blood pressure will increase!

If you have a lot of work, whether you are a mental worker or a manual worker, then your blood pressure will increase, and your emotions will also affect your blood pressure, people with a cheerful and peaceful personality will also have a peaceful blood pressure, and people with an impatient personality will also have higher blood pressure.

Therefore, the increase in blood pressure has nothing to do with the night and daytime, but has something to do with mood and work status!

Some patients with high blood pressure, after **, have normal or only slightly increased blood pressure during the day, but the blood pressure at night has increased significantly, and even reached a dangerous level. Because patients with high blood pressure are not easy to feel obvious symptoms during sleep at night, they can generally feel dizziness and fatigue when they get up in the morning. The cause of this nocturnal increase in blood pressure is not very clear, and some believe that it is due to the increase in sympathetic nerve excitability during sleep, which causes vasoconstriction and increased blood pressure;

It is also possible that the effect of the drug is maintained for a short time.

In the emergency department, it is common to encounter some patients with cerebral hemorrhage and heart failure, and many of them do not occur during the day, but at night, which is likely to be the result of a sudden increase in blood pressure at night.

Therefore, patients with high blood pressure should pay attention to the rise and fall of blood pressure during the day and the change of blood pressure at night, and it is best to measure blood pressure before going to bed and monitor blood pressure after waking up. If it is confirmed that there is a sudden increase in blood pressure at night, antihypertensive drugs should be taken appropriately at night to control it.

High blood pressure at night may be caused by exercise, so the sudden blood pressure will rise, in this case the blood pressure is not very stable, it is recommended to measure it many times, adjust the mentality and measure it again.

This situation is very normal, because our body is still in a stable state when we get up in the morning, so the blood pressure is normal, and after a day of exercise, the blood flow is accelerated, so it is relatively normal for the blood pressure to become high.

It is very normal for blood pressure to get high at night, because the person has been active for a day, so it can cause blood pressure to rise.

Why is the blood pressure measured high during the day and normal at night, is it high blood pressure?
