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: -Even if you’re being treated for high blood pressure, your blood pressure will still rise after exercising. Walking, taking the stairs, and even lifting or moving large items can all cause your blood pressure to increase.
Detailed explanation-3: -Regular physical activity helps reduce your blood pressure. But it’s normal for blood pressure to increase right after exercising. In order to get the most accurate reading, the best time to take your blood pressure is 30 minutes after exercising.
Detailed explanation-4: -Exercise regularly Regular physical activity can lower high blood pressure by about 5 to 8 mm Hg . It’s important to keep exercising to keep blood pressure from rising again. As a general goal, aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate physical activity every day.
