During the first few minutes after waking up, our blood pressure increases due to our body’s normal circadian rhythm. Our sleep/wake patterns are influenced by the circadian rhythm, a 24-hour cycle. Noradrenaline and adrenaline are released in the morning by the body. In 2007, Pharmacy Times was one of the first to explain this phenomena: your blood pressure can be raised by these hormones, but they give you a boost of energy. Between 6:00 AM and noon, blood pressure usually rises in the morning. Blood pressure can be harmful if it rises too high.
Recently, the UK-based The Saxon turned to doctors to explain the elevated morning blood pressure further. Their answer is that morning hypertension may be caused by the following factors:
Related to drug treatment. Uncontrolled morning hypertension may indicate a problem with the type or dosage of blood pressure medications: for example, they are taking a very low dose, are taking short- or intermediate-acting drugs rather than long-acting drugs, or are taking a single antihypertensive drug rather than a combination of drugs.
A high blood pressure in the morning may indicate a medical condition. These conditions include hypertension, high cholesterol, sleep apnea, diabetes, thyroid disease, Cushing syndrome, lupus, scleroderma, kidney disease, among others.
Morning hypertension is also associated with certain lifestyle factors. Stress to your arteries can be caused by a variety of factors, such as smoking, drinking alcohol, eating a high salt and saturated fat diet, not exercising enough, working night shifts, and being obese
