Hello Anon

Thank you for writing and welcome!

Blood pressure can vary throughout the day. It tends to be at it's lowest while sleeping and when you get up and can increase throughout the day. It's generally at it's highest in the afternoon. There are reasons for these shifts, including diet, stress and depending on the time of day you work. If you smoke, your pressure will rise.

Anon - are you seeing these numbers change through out the day? Can you tell us when?

Looking at your numbers, your blood pressure, even at it's lowest, is high. Your highest number is quite high and requires a doctor consultation.

You may have a heart condition that is causing this, or poor diet and exercise regime. Diabetes and kidney problems can also be a cause.

Please consult with your doctor for a chat about diet and lifestyle, as well as your overall health to rule out a particular condition that is causing this. Since you do not have a recommended healthy rate at all, it's important to have a health evaluation.

Best,
Susan
