Hi there, the question is dependant on what your normal blood pressure is, it's perfectly possible under exercise for it to rise over 200 and be considered normal.

However yours was subject to a test, the results of which will be given to you, usually after a week or so. Given your history one of the things they are looking at is how quickly it returns to normal.

Hope that helps a little

My BP returned to a normal level quickly I just had a panic hearing the nurse tell the other one 250/80 and had a panic .

Fully understand I would have been the same, hopefully the results will be good

By coincidence I had an exercise stress test yesterday and my gp went up before they had even started but I always get “ white coat syndrome” so it didn’t worry me. During the test it went up massively but settled down quickly once the test was finished. Try not to worry and wait for your results.
