This is funny. I have high blood pressure and have for about a decade. Typically 165 over 103 or so. Meanwhile, my wife has normal and, actually on the low side. I sleep like a baby. she has a hard time sleeping.
I have normal blood pressure and a slow heart (usually below 60 beats per minute). But I sometimes have trouble sleeping.
With the BP numbers you mentioned, people usually take BP medication. Did you try?
Usually meds like Lotensin are helpful w no bad effects.
Beta blockers work fine for some people, cause problems for others.
Sometimes you need to experiment a bit — with you doctor’s help, of course.
I have high blood pressure, it shot up suddenly (and inexplicably according to my endocrinologist) a few years ago. I have a hard time sleeping through the night, have for years. I’m exhausted when I go to bed and sleep soundly until around 2-3 am, then toss and turn until 5. I wonder which is the cause and which is the effect. My husband sleeps like a baby and despite having a higher BMI and waist to hip ratio than me, his blood pressure is great.
Sleep got better when my Graves Disease went into remission; oddly, that was immediately followed by the high blood pressure. One thing alone helps me sleep through the night, but I can’t do that every single night ;-).
