Cardiologists Highlight Importance of Night-Time Blood Pressure Dip

Blood pressure typically drops by 10 to 20 percent during sleep compared to daytime levels, a phenomenon known as the night-time dip.

Dr Dipak Patil noted that a non-dipping pattern or persistently high night-time readings can increase risks for stroke, heart disease, and kidney damage.

Improving sleep quality, reducing salt intake, and adhering to prescribed treatments can help maintain better overall blood pressure control.
