No, blood pressure should be in the acceptable range through out 24 hours and you should not average 2 numbers AM and PM. If that blood pressure pattern persists almost everyday then you medication needs to be adjusted, just to make sure blood pressure remains below 135/80 most of the time. Good luck.

Your evening blood pressure readings are a concern. This pattern could indicate mild fluid retention driving the late day high readings. I would consider adding low dose hydrochlorothiazide in the morning, perhaps 12.5 or 25 mg. Good luck!
