449334
In a healthy individual, blood pressure does vary depending on the time of day, but it should be lowest in the morning just after a relaxing night's sleep (actually, it should be lowest when you're asleep, but you're generally not measuring then). It should peak around mid-afternoon.\n\nCertain medications, like corticosteroids, will cause high blood pressure in the morning. However this could be a warning sign of a bigger health problem. As the previous answer suggested, it's a good idea to talk to your doctor.

Stress and high blood pressure go hand in hand. Also things like: smoking, alcohol, drug use, obesity, lack of excersize, diet ( especially high sodium content), age, family history, and side effects of other medications.

Everyone is going to scream hypertension, but it would not come on this suddenly.  Don't let them slam you with hypertensive drug therapy.  Diet is much better way to control.  Anyway you are too young and that probably is not the cause.  YOur BP is probably high do to something else going on.  One thing that can cause BP to raise is pain.  Hmmm, had any of that lately.  If you do have kidney stones, the pain could raise your BP, or a possible infection of some sort.  Either way, go get checked out and worry about the hypertension down the road.  Oh yeah, if it is hypertension, look to diet, the same thing that causes Type 2 diabetes also adds to hypertension, it usually can all be corrected with diet.   The problem is, your MD will not know how.  Check out the website below.\n\nBut yes, GO TO A DOCTOR!

These are all good recommendations. I do recommend consulting a physician to determine 1. if you do have high blood pressure, 2. what is the cause, 3. what are your treatment options, and 4. do you need to be screened for heart disease and high cholesterol. Sometimes high blood pressure can simply be treated with what is called lifestyle modifications: exercise, low fat diet, reduce salt intake, etc. However, sometimes a medication or two need to be added to bring the blood pressure down. Hypertension can be sign of other things: heart diseae, sleep apnea, kidney disease, etc, and therefore further evaluation may be necessary.

The bottom number is your pressure in the heart at rest. If it is elevated due to drinking the culprit is most likely electrolyte problems. Specifically tooo much sodium in your blood. I strongly urge you to slow the drinking down and monitor your potassium and sodium levels.

Most cases of hypertension (HTN) do occur in healthy people and all of us see and treatment pre teen and teenagers with HTN.  An elevated blood pressure (BP) reading is not the same as having HTN as such readins are common.  The diagnosis of HTN is usually based upon 3 readings at monthly intervals and I prefer that these be taken at home shortly after waking up.  In that setting #s above 115/065 should be brought to the attention of a physician.

They say it is the spikes in blood pressure that are the most dangerous, rather than having steady hypertension.  Those spikes, caused by stress like your commute, put sudden stress on your heart.  So, measuring when you are unstressed can tell you what your bp should be, but measuring when it's high (seeing how much you spike) should be a red alert to learn to control stress better.

sodium and water act together in the vascular system.  "Water follows salt"  So, too much sodium causes water retention, thus increasing the blood pressure.  Obviously high blood pressure affects the heart, and can cause aneurysms, not only in the brain, but in the aorta as well.  Too much pressure causes a weakening in the vessel wall and can cause an outpouching (aneurysm).  If blood pressure isn't controlled then the aneurysm can burst - fatal if not caught by doctors early.
