Normally blood pressure readings tends to be lowest upon just waking, then it rises somewhat as your activity begins, with spikes possible after your meals, your coffee breaks or after any stressful situation that you may experience.

I recommend that you use your blood pressure monitor to get your blood pressure numbers at the same time every day.
