I was not aware that my blood pressure (BP) is rising at night until I bought a wrist BP monitor.
I was shocked when it showed 180/90 early in the morning. When I’m on my chair it is 100/70 or lower.
Later I found out that my BP rises as soon as I lie down.

1. Does any of you quads measured his BP at night ? How mutch is it ?
2. Dou you get any drugs for blood pressure regulation ?

Thank you in advance for your answer

I'm NOT a quad & so I don't have AD. BUT I do however have a lot more pain at night & in the evenings & so the more pain I'm in the higher my BP will be. I thought that laying down would lower it which is why I brought up the pain aspect. Could you be having "pain" and just not "feeling" it? Your body could be reacting to the "un-felt" pain. Or I could be all wet......just a different thought was all.
