Hi,
Whatever the blood pressure readings given by you, all are absolutely in normal range.
Blood pressure and heart rate rises in response to any type of physical exertion as in your case. It takes variable time to stabilize heart rate & blood pressure after exercise.
Why are so concern about your blood pressure?
I want to know-
1) Do you have high BP problem, if yes then on which medications.
2) Any other associated illness like diabetes or cholesterol problems.
3) Family history of high BP, diabetes, cholesterol problem.
If you are a healthy adult then check your BP at least once in 3 months, do OGTT, Lipid profile once in a year.
