[|Human|] I am 42, I have just left the gym after 15min of running, 35min of weight training, and finished up with 10 min on the elliptical, this is my fourth day on my blood pressure meds, I stopped into the clinic which is right down the hall and had my blood pressure taken and it was 160/82, the nurse said that it was good, I felt like it was high, but then again I had just left the gym. What do you think?
[|AI|]  Thanks for contacting Chat Doctor. Your nurse is right, for you a hypertensive this is the normal response to exercise as weight training leads to rise in blood pressure, although cardio workout lowers it. You need to get your blood pressure at normal levels before you exercise and initial for a couple of weeks focus on cardio workouts, and only when your body had fully adjusted add weight training. Even then keep a watch on blood pressure levels. Regards
