What Causes High Blood Pressure In Nights And How To Reduce It?

my blood pressure right now is 155/108. Every night after I wake up about 4 hours after I go to sleep with high blood pressure like this. It always goes down during to normal during the day. I wake up usually suddenly because I don't feel good. I don't feel good right now and it is 3:22 in the morning. Is there anything I can do to lower it and also get an answer as to why this happens every night.

Blood pressure elevations can occur at anytime, for some patients this can happen at night time. I would advise for ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, meanwhile decrease your salt intake to under 2 grams in 24 hour period. Good luck.
