Is blood pressure higher in the am or pm?

End of day: Blood pressure tends to be higher after stress exposure - if you spent a day exercising and relaxing, your BP may be lower - of if taken at the end of a stressful day it will probably be higher. Ideal BP is 115/70-75. Get yourself a home BP cuff if you have a problem - i would recommend the traditional type as electronic devices are not very accurate.If you have high BP in am, you should see md.

Complex: Highest levels of blood pressure occur after 10 am with a peak around noon but often with a plateau extending to 6 pm. Leading up to this, there is a rise in pressure from the time of waking or before (about 6 am), with the pressure rising by up to 20/15 mmhg in most people. There is a decline in pressure of 10-20% in the late evening and on going to sleep. See my comment.
