Can’t people with high blood pressure exercise strenuously?

Patients with hypertension should not exercise vigorously when their blood pressure is not under control. Factors such as exercise have a considerable impact on blood pressure and can cause huge fluctuations in blood pressure, causing damage to blood vessels and also causing corresponding complications, such as acute complications, i.e. angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, hemorrhagic stroke, ischemic stroke, renal function impairment, etc. Therefore, strenuous exercise in hypertensive patients is risky. Patients with hypertension are advised to take medications for 24-hour smooth blood pressure reduction for treatment and to pay attention to the protection related to target organ function or organic damage. Attention should be paid to therapeutic lifestyle improvement, such as low salt and low fat diet, smoking cessation, alcohol restriction, and appropriate exercise, which can be taken in the form of aerobic exercise and gradual, with a slight sweating.
