What happens when you exercise vigorously with high blood pressure

Strenuous exercise is not recommended for patients with hypertension. If strenuous exercise is performed, such as performing competitive activities, or performing some other anaerobic exercises, such as push-ups, weight lifting, single and double bars, etc., it may lead to an instant increase in blood pressure, which may cause some acute complications of the heart and cerebrovascular, such as cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction, myocardial infarction, and severe arrhythmia. For patients with hypertension, if the blood pressure is relatively well controlled, it is recommended to perform some appropriate physical activities, such as walking, jogging, brisk walking, swimming or doing aerobics, tai chi, etc. Appropriate exercise is good for blood pressure control and can also improve cardiovascular adaptability, which is beneficial to the smoothness of blood pressure.
