My systolic BP jumps about 30 points when I am dozing off, resting, watch tv etc. (i.e no activity). However, it returns to normal after being active again, ,walking eating, exercising etc.
Usually happens in the afternoon just a few hours after taking meds ( Toprol XL and Atacand) .
Why ?

Hello Placitas and thanks for your post.
I search our site and thought the followng information might be helpful.
First, you migh twant to read the material on Toprol XL and Atacand .
Next, there are a number of causes for hypertension. I'm not certain why you have a rise the way you do, but you must speak to your doctor about this as soon as possible. I am not medically trained and just couldn't answer that question properly.
