I've been waking up with a pretty bad headache and noticing that my blood pressure readings are quite high in the morning, sometimes hitting around 160100. It seems to settle down by around noon and stays normal for the rest of the day. Im currently on Espin AT and Equasite 12.5 every morning. Is this something I should be worried about? What's causing these high readings in the morning?

It seems like you are experiencing morning hypertension, which is a common issue for some individuals. To help manage your blood pressure more effectively throughout the day, you can consider taking your medications at different times. I recommend taking your Espin AT in the morning as usual, but you may benefit from taking your Equasite 12.5 in the evening instead. This can help provide more consistent blood pressure control throughout the day. Make sure to consult with your healthcare provider before making any changes to your medication regimen.
