Can Workouts Cause Sudden Increase In BP?
I am 5ft 10 and weight 195 pounds. I am an IT professional so work on system for more than 8-10 hours. I have started working out recently and run approximately 30 min a day followed by 30 min of weights. I noticed that my BP for the past week after I started working out is hovering between 130/89 to 138/94.. Is this off late shoot something to worry or will it get normal? Also what is the best time of the day to measure BP stress level of a person changes across the day.

hi
hypertension has been catagorised as
Category Blood Pressure, mm Hg
Prehypertension SBP 120-139 or DBP 80-89
Stage 1 HTN SBP 140-159 or DBP 90-99
Stage 2 HTN SBP ≥160 or DBP ≥100
level of blood pressure keeps on changing through out the day a variation of more then 10mm of systolic or diastolic bp is significant
do not worry about mild variations in bp
