What Causes Fluctuation In Bp?
Blood pressure at 54
I’m a 54 year old male and weigh 220. I've been cycling for 15 years, 16 plus miles per ride at an average 14-15 mph 3-4 times a week. I’ve been checking my blood pressure for several years and it’s generally in the 120/70 range. This morning BP was 106/71 54 bpm, during the day while active it was 122/77 71 bpm, immediately after a 16 mile bike ride it was 89/62 125 bpm. When getting ready for work at 4:00 pm it was 131/82 67 bpm, guess I stress a little before work.
I feel good after exercising, never dizzy or short of breath, is the 89/62 125 bpm after a ride something to be concerned with?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern and let me tell you that the normal blood pressure which is known as 120/80 is average calculated with normal subject, but if go on reading blood pressure so this would not be the same in all the subjects it goes on variation form person to person and depends upon several factors which causes fluctuations, in my opinion stop measuring this, hope this information helps you, take care and have a nice day.
