Elevated BP: Blood pressure readings can change throughout the day, depending on a number of factors. Checking your blood pressure in the mornings, and at night may help you get a better idea of what your trends are. If most of your readings are within normal range, you are less likely to have the damage to your arteries that ultimately leads to heart attacks and strokes.
