Does blood pressure get higher after exercise for hypertension

Patients with hypertension can experience a rise in blood pressure after exercise because it causes the patient’s heart rate to increase after high-intensity exercise, resulting in vasoconstriction and increased blood pressure. However, blood pressure usually returns to normal after a half-hour rest after exercise in patients with hypertension. If blood pressure rises after exercise, but no symptoms or special discomfort appear, there is no need for treatment, and it is sufficient to maintain adequate rest. If adverse reactions such as dizziness, chest tightness, panic and difficulty in breathing occur after post-exercise hypertension, active treatment is required. In terms of treatment, the patient goes to the hospital for electrocardiogram and echocardiogram. The examination allows the patient to understand the main causes of elevated blood pressure after exercise and to give active treatment. In terms of blood pressure lowering patients can take drugs such as nifedipine and captopril to lower blood pressure.
