Can sleep apnea cause high blood pressure during the day?

Question

I have sleep apnea, and even with medication, my blood pressure remains high throughout the day. I was wondering if my sleep apnea could be making it difficult to control my blood pressure even during waking hours. Is there a connection?

If you need to get a 24-hour ambulatory BP monitor, check the rates at local charitable trusts as they are much cheaper than corporate hospitals. Managing daytime BP is important, so plan your budget to get this tested soon.

Do not trust random forum comments or simple home remedies for daytime blood pressure spikes. This requires proper monitoring and medical expertise. Please go visit a certified cardiologist or general physician to get accurate answers.

I completely understand how terrifying it is to watch those high numbers on the BP monitor during the day. It used to give me major panic attacks. Seeking professional medical help is the only way to quiet that anxiety.

It is so exhausting and emotionally draining to deal with constant daytime high BP when you don't know the cause. I used to feel so helpless. Please know that finding the connection to sleep apnea can actually bring you so much relief.

In my experience, practicing calming pranayama like Sheetali can help soothe the nervous system during daytime spikes. However, sleep apnea is a physical blockage, so you must get a proper medical checkup alongside your yoga practice.

Your blood pressure doesn't just pack up and leave when the sun comes up! The strain from night-time gasping carries over into the day too. Get it checked out by a doctor before you start blaming your morning tea.
