Why does blood pressure go high when you have done exercise and what can it go up to during exercise & b safe? |
i am a 32 yr old woman and recently had a blood pres reading of 152-101. i have got to have another reading shortly, but after exercise i took a reading and it was 138-105. I am worried to exercise again because of this reading. How much more high than normal should it go during exercise? My hearbeat is about 55-65 usually, when I have not been excercising. However, I know it has gone up to 180-200 at times during very extreme excercise when I was younger (squash and circuit training come to mind). I would think about 150-160 should be fine during excercise. I just did a reading and got 55 bpm heartbeat, 142/82 blood pressure. You can buy cuff blood pressure monitors for about 拢10 in most high street chemists. I tend to measure my blood pressure by how I feel rather than what a monitor or doctor says. If you feel a little bit faint (say you have just got out of a hot bath), put you head down between your legs and your blood pressure should rise to your brain. If you feel agitated and aggressive, you know your blood pressure is rising. My blood pressure usually falls after excercise, due to the dilation of blood vessels. It tends to rise when I am preparing for excercise, due to increases of adrenalin. I also like to take caffeine, just before a run to give me that adrenalin boost to make excercise more appealing. A good barometer is to subtract your age from 200 and use 80% of that as your max heart rate. Example 200-32=165 80% of that is 134 you can use this as your max heart rate. If you don't have high blood pressure otherwise it's not something to worry about. I am 48 and have had a heart attack and I have a stent. When I work out I can bring my heart up to 134. But I keep it under that just so I don't over do it. The cardio nurses tell me a good rate for me would be to stay around 110. If yours goes to high just slow down til the blood pressure comes down. All are diffrent so ask your Doctor what is right for you. blood pressure is how hard your blood pumps around your body,but your blood pressure is high, generally it should be about 140/70-90 and as you bottom number (systolic) is quite high i would just keep an eye on it. Exercise will raise things to do with your heart because you obviously use it!! but over time your heart rate and pressure will go down because you will get fitter and it wont have to work so hard make sure you dont train too hard when you are at the gym and gradually increase your effort. this is just one of the benefits of exercise! just relax! it will sort itself out but for the meantime just keep an eye on it, if you do get worried, just pop to the doctor, ok?!x |
