Stroke & Morning Hypertension

Do you and your doctor know your morning blood pressure numbers? If you don’t, you may be at risk of having a morning blood pressure surge – also known as morning hypertension – which puts you at an increased risk of having a stroke. At Omron we want you to understand how important it is to monitor your blood pressure within the first two hours of waking.

• 50% of patients with high blood pressure also have morning hypertension
• Half of all strokes occur in the morning
• Women 45–54 have twice the risk of stroke than same-aged men

This means that even if you think you are managing your blood pressure and are even taking medication, you can still have morning hypertension and be at an increased risk of stroke. Omron is the first to offer home blood pressure monitors that are designed to detect morning hypertension by calculating your average weekly morning blood pressure. The morning hypertension indicator flashes when your average weekly morning reading exceeds the American Heart Association guideline for normal blood pressure, in which case you should consult with your physician.
