What causes BP to increase in the evenings while relaxing?
Patient: In the morning, my bp is around 120-130 over 78 ish.  In the evening, it can be around 140 over 93, even in the 150's some evenings.  I take Lisinopril  50 mg in the morning.  What causes my blood pressure to rise in the evenings when I am relaxed, rather than in the morning when I'm getting ready for work?  Should I try my medicine at a different time, perhaps at lunch?  Will exercise or stretching in the evening help lower it? Doctor: you consult ur physician and inform this may be the dose of drug or action it decreases by evening but it should be taken In morning only if bp tablet night taken means it will cause night hypotension
