Detailed explanation-1: -Normally during exercise, blood pressure increases to push the flow of oxygen-rich blood throughout the body. However, in some individuals, the response to exercise is exaggerated. Instead of reaching a systolic (upper number) blood pressure of around 200 mmHg at maximal exercise, they spike at 250 mmHg or higher.
Detailed explanation-2: -Blood Pressure After Exercise Depending on your resting blood pressure, your blood pressure may be higher than 120/80 after exercise. This idea sometimes confuses people who are being treated for hypertension (high blood pressure), especially because exercise is recommended as a way to lower blood pressure.
Detailed explanation-3: -Is it safe to exercise if you have high blood pressure? For most people, the answer is yes. If you have high blood pressure, you should be able to be more active quite safely. But to be on the safe side, it’s always a good idea to speak to your doctor or nurse before you start any new physical activity.
Detailed explanation-4: -While a person is exercising, their blood pressure will often rise, depending on the intensity of exercise and their overall health. During exercise, demands on the cardiovascular system increase, and the muscles need additional oxygen.
