Hi doctor,
I am on medication for high bp. Most of the time it will be below 120/80 or 125/85.
But only in early morning when my stomach is empty i have observed my bp going 130/90 or 135/95. After eating breakfast even before i take medicine my bp automatically comes down below 120/80.
Is this expected pattern among bp patients?
I am on bp medication because I was diagnosed with mild left ventricular hypertrophy during 2d echo test

Kindly consult with proper history and reports. The condition you are describing needs proper medication and monitoring. Mild left ventricular hypertrophy is generally due to prolonged and chronic high BP.
Yes, there can be mild variations in BP from the mean level in 24 hrs cycle, your BP and heart rate falls slightly when you sleep at night and when you wake up in morning there can be mild increase of BP due to increase in your Basal Metabolic Rate after waking up in the morning, for better information kindly consult, thank you...
