BP readings are taken before each pill. The reading at 9pm is respectable (155/76). The readings at 9am are too high 173/107, 157/93, 180/94, 192/110. BP pill is ATENOLOL 50mg. Have experminted with 2 pills at 9pm & the am reading is still high.   So, question is. what would be reason(s) for BP elevating while asleep ?   Ed   http://www.healthcentral.com/high-blood-pressure/c/57036/25789/pills
