Is it safe to sleep when experiencing high blood pressure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
High blood pressure: High blood pressure is associated with the development of a number of cardiovascular and kidney diseases, including stroke, heart attack, heart failure, and kidney failure. However these risks are mostly significant over many years, not a few hours. Blood pressure will normally be higher when you are active, nervous, or in pain, and will normally be lower when resting or sleeping.
