My blood pressure has been high for a few days even when taking clonidine twice a day. It was 189/96 at dr office. I my reading 3 times a day for 7 days but consistently high although it fluctuates. This morning it was 156/88 even though I just got up. What could cause thus even when I take meds.
It is always a thing to have low blood pressure when you wake up so 156/88 is when you arise from bed. Gradually as time passes it will bring up. So daytime fluctuation of minor blood pressure is a diurnal variation. Do not worry and take your medication as such. But maintain it near 120/80.
