Unclear: You take a lot of blood pressure meds. This probably means you have difficult to control bp. Most times the peak of blood pressure is actually very early in the AM. Have you done ambulatory blood pressure monitoring. This checks for all of 24 hours. Is your regimen spaced out through the day or do you take all meds in the AM. Actually need closer follow-up by your docttor

Blood pressure: BP varies during the course of the day. One eats 10-12 grams of salt during the day which can cause increase in blood pressure. Also because of stresses during the day, the bursts of adrenal can also cause elevated BP
