Low blood pressure in the morning may be caused by orthostatic hypotension or improper use of antihypertensive medications. When getting up in the morning, moving too quickly or abruptly can easily trigger orthostatic hypotension. For individuals with hypertension, improper medication use—such as taking an excessive dose of antihypertensive drugs before bedtime—often results in low blood pressure the following morning, leading to morning hypotension.
