Looks like night time is the right time

what if your blood pressure is low in the evening and high in the morning? take the medicine in the morning when its high?

If my blood pressure is becoming normal, how do I transition off of Lisinopril?

[worldview]

Great question @drjudyho, just what time at night? Also what time did the volunteers in the test trial/study take them?

My niece is a cardiologist and best time to take blood pressure tablets is morning time .Hormones to wake up increase blood pressure and through your day.
During sleep your blood pressure is naturally lower .
Half an aspirin to make your blood less sticky helps

[lavvy]

That's bullshit! I was told it should be taken during the day while your heart is working harder than at rest.

If taking our blood pressure medication after dinner, can dinner surrounding the meds prevent the medication from being properly absorbed ?
