I've taken my blood pressure around 25,000 times over the past ten years, and keep the readings in a database. I do reports and charts by time of day, by week, by month, by year, and take many other looks at my own blood pressure patterns.

When I first started checking my blood pressure, at home, I was shocked. At the doctor's office my blood pressure readings showed that my blood pressure was well controlled by my medication. I had no idea that I suffered from significantly high, chronic blood pressure, despite the medication that I was taking.

I've found out since that, my blood pressure is low at the doctor's office because it is in the morning, when blood pressure is normally at it's lowest, and it was soon after I took my blood pressure medication, which is also when blood pressure is lowest.

I found out that my blood pressure was at unsafe and unhealthy levels for most of the day, day after day, month after month, except for the early part of most days. No matter what medications, or how many medications, my doctor experimented on me, my blood pressure could not get under control.

I never thought that I would have to work so hard, and do so much research, and make so many changes to my lifestyle, environment, medications and diet. Some of the changes that I tried backfired on me and made things worse. But, ultimately, I finally succeeded in having a healthy blood pressure 24 hours per day, day after day, month after month year after year, resulting in a significant improvement in my heart failure and health.

Basically, what I have found was that- when my blood pressure levels were at unhealthy levels, or as they are now, nice and low all day long, and regardless of medications, my blood pressure has always been the lowest in the morning, on average, and gradually increasing all day long. The only exception was that, when my blood pressure was chronically high, and my health was deteriorating, my blood pressure would go up even higher during the late evening, whereas now my blood pressure drops a little during the late evening.

Regardless, there are many, MANY things, that I've found, that can trigger either higher blood pressure and erratic heart rhythms, so there are many exceptions to the normal rule of lower blood pressure in the early daytime, increasing throughout the rest of the day.
