    It's normal for your blood pressure to fluctuate over the course of the day. It will vary depending on the time of day, the position of your body, your stress levels, and your meal times. To make sure it stays in a normal range, stay hydrated, eat regular meals, monitor your salt intake (more salt for higher blood pressure, less salt to lower it), and exercise daily. You can also relax yourself by meditating daily or doing other activities that decrease stress.
