Is blood pressure high in the morning or at night

Blood pressure is usually high in the morning.

Most people experience an increase in blood pressure when they wake up in the morning. It is called morning hypertension. Because the body is prone to changes in stress and hormone levels when waking up in the morning, it can increase the pressure on the blood vessel walls, causing blood pressure to rise. However, morning hypertension usually peaks within 1-2 hours after waking up, and then gradually decreases. At night, the human body usually enters the rest and recovery stage, in this stage, the basal metabolic rate of the body will decrease, blood pressure is easy to gradually decrease, so blood pressure will generally rise in the morning.
