Exercise Hypertension
During exercise, the blood pressure and heart rate will elevated. What is the normal level for blood presure during exercise?
Exercise hypertension is an excessive rise in blood pressure during exercise. Patients who with exercise hypertension will have spiking in systolic pressure to 250mmHg or greater.
In clinical setting, a rise in systolic blood pressure to over 220mHg needs to be controlled by the appropriate drugs.
For diastolic pressure, normally in healthy individuals, the ‘dynamic’ exercise (walking, running) of moderate intensity is to remain constant or to fall slightly (due to the improved blood flow), but in some individuals a rise of 10mmHg or greater is found.
