Q: husbands bp goes up while sleeping. 185/130 goes down after up for severl hours why
Hi Robin,
It's best to evaluate what is going on with your MD. However, let me give you one possibility to explore.
Sleep apnea - A higher blood pressure in the morning versus blood pressure readings at other times of the day is an indicator for sleep apnea. You can read more about high blood pressure and sleep apnea here (it's page 2 of an article - scroll to bottom for sleep apnea info).
A blood pressure reading of 185/135 is cause for significant concern and I recommend consulting a physician now. Don't wait to address this issue.
All the best,
Lisa Nelson, RD
