Why high blood pressure is higher in the morning?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Blood presssure: When you're asleep there is less stimulation in the system. When you first awaken there is a tide of stimulation flooding into the consciousness and unconsciousness and this stimulates the BP to rise somewhat.
