Hi Treeclimber62

Yes that is exactly what should happen, any exercise does this. Not only will your BP reduce after exercise, it will stay lower than it would have otherwise been for the rest of the day. Below is a link to the benefits of exercise on blood pressure.

Thanks very much for reply very good article about the benefits of exercise I sort of knew about it but it's good to have it confirmed

Exactly as SotF said. I see precisely the same thing in my own blood pressure readings.

Congratulations by the way for exercising regularly. The doctors have done pretty much everything they can do for us with surgery and medication, the rest is up to us with a commitment to life style changes.

Thanks for the reply my Bisoprolol is variable 7.5 to 10mg depending on my Entresto just wondered what happens to your BP , as when my BP is low HR increases and Higher BP results in lower BP

Yes, happens to me all the time. Blood pressure can be higher then as soon as I walk it drops down. Exercise is good for you, also better in the afternoon than in the morning. Good luck, keep up the exercise!
