You might have high blood pressure in the morning for reasons beside your medicine. Overuse of alcohol can raise blood pressure. So if you do drink alcohol, keep it to no more than a couple of drinks per day. One drink means 12 ounces of beer, 8 ounces of wine, or one shot of hard liquor.. Sleep apnea is another cause of high blood pressure early in the morning. With sleep apnea, the airway becomes blocked or breathing muscles stop moving. Breathing temporarily stops or becomes shallower. This can happen hundreds of times each night.
Blood pressure is the force of blood against the walls of arteries. Blood pressure rises and falls throughout the day. When blood pressure stays elevated over time, itâs called high blood pressure. The medical term for high blood pressure is hypertension. High blood pressure is danger-ous because it makes the heart work too hard and contributes to atherosclerosis (hardeningof the arteries). It increases the risk of heart disease (see box 1) and stroke, which are thefirst-and third-leading causes of death among Americans.
