I have had blood pressure issues for a while but for some reason it has started to spike at night

During the night my bp being anywhere from 138/82 to 150/92, then while I'm sleeping I wake up in the middle of the night with an average of 180/123 or higher and that's while I'm still laying in bed? also it last through the morning, any advice would be very much appreciated.

@patrix Blood pressure usually starts to rise a few hours before a person wakes up. Are you experiencing any breathing difficulties and tightness in the chest when the BP increases at night? Blood pressure increase at night or nocturnal hypertension can also be caused by thyroid and kidney problems and diabetes. If you go online and check, you will find more reasons for nocturnal hypertension. It is better to consult a GP.
