Question
Hello doctor,
I often have high blood pressure in the morning, sometimes it is 154/113/80. Normal measurement is 114/87/82. It didn't feel short of breath, just felt the heart pounding, the upper half of the ribcage was slightly tight and ran parallel to the back, the feeling that the two hands were not strong enough to cause discomfort. The doctor told me it's okay to have high blood pressure in the morning. Thank you doctor.

Hello,
With the question “Is it okay to have high blood pressure in the morning? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
High blood pressure accompanied by heart palpitations and the feeling of powerlessness in both hands may be a manifestation of sympathetic hyperactivity. Common in diseases related to anxiety disorders (with autonomic dysfunction), hyperthyroidism, electrolyte disorders.
To determine whether primary hypertension (requires treatment) or secondary hypertension (caused by another medical condition that raises blood pressure, and treatment focuses on treating the underlying condition causing hypertension). You need to visit the hospital to find out the cause and appropriate treatment. At the hospital, the doctor can order you to measure your electrocardiogram, blood test, echocardiogram, thyroid ultrasound, .. after you have examined.
