My Diastolic Blood Pressure XXXXXXX 20 Points After 45 Minutes

default
Posted on Sat, 2 Mar 2019
Question: My diastolic blood pressure XXXXXXX 20 points after 45 minutes of moderate cardio exercise this morning. Is this cause for concern? My BP this morning 45 min after waking up was 108/57. I started a run 45 min later. 5 min after the run my BP was 125/75. My heart rate has recovered to 75 when I took the BP reading. I’m in generally good health (5’10” 152 pounds, resting heart rate of 35-40 in a.m., lift weights 4x/week and run 2x/wk.) I have Hashimoto’s and take Synthroid + Cytomel daily. I used an Omron for the BP reading. Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Welcome and thank you for asking on Ask a Doctor service!

I understand your concern and would explain that these heart rate and blood pressure fluctuations are not concerning during physical activity. It is true that this reaction is s little exaggerated , but it doesn't indicate any serious heart condition.

Anyway, I would recommend checking again your thyroid hormone levels, because a hormonal imbalance could trigger this situation.

Hope you will find this answer helpful!


Kind regards
