Cardiologist WARNING: The Bedtime Routine That's Spiking Blood Pressure While You Sleep — Over 60

If you are over 60 and your blood pressure looks normal during the day, your biggest danger may be happening while you sleep. In this video, we explain how common bedtime habits may quietly raise nighttime blood pressure and put extra stress on your heart, brain, and kidneys. Many seniors never check what their blood pressure does between 10 PM and 6 AM — and that hidden pattern can matter more than daytime readings. You’ll learn how late-night salty snacks, ibuprofen before bed, alcohol, warm bedrooms, light exposure, and medication timing may affect nocturnal hypertension. We also explain why asking your doctor about a 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitor could reveal what regular office readings miss. Watch until the end before making any changes to your routine, and always speak with your doctor before changing blood pressure medicine, pain relievers, supplements, or sleep aids.
