Question 1

what's normal systolic and diastolic blood pressure during exercise? how much time should it take to return to baseline after exercise?

Accepted Answer

: Depends on your age, gender and physical fitness status. And the type of exercise. In general Sys goes up and diastolic down. Difficult to measure. Best is to get 24 hr BP study and see. BP at night is also important.

Question 2

how high should your blood pressure raise after exercise-in terms of systolic and diastolic values? e.g is 127/74 before and 150/101 a normal increase after walking up and down a 16 inch step?

Accepted Answer

BP and excercise: It is normal for your blood pressure to increase during and right after exercising. If that is the reading about 20 minutes after resting, you should be concerned. Check with a local physician if that is the case. Otherwise, you should keep doing what you do. Exercise and eat healthy.

Question 3

is it normal if your systolic pressure is only 10 points higher than diastolic?

Accepted Answer

Np: 10mmHg is an unlikely low pulse pressure and likely is a measurement error

Question 4

what does it mean if a systolic pressure is normal and the diastolic is low? 126/60

Accepted Answer

Normal: Don't worry, this is common and normal to see. Oftentimes automated blood pressure cuffs have difficulty in finding an accurate diastolic BP (the lower number).  A wide difference (&gt;80) between the systolic and diastolic pressures would be abnormal and worth investigation.

Question 5

why might it be that my systolic pressure always higher than normal but diastolic always normal?

Accepted Answer

Hypertension: You may have isolated systolic hypertension.  The diastolic bloop pressure does not need to be elevated to have hypertension.

Question 6

hoping you can tell me, is lower blood pressure after exercise normal?

Accepted Answer

Yes : Lowering of blood pressure is a typical physiologic response to exercise. Rehydrate and cool down to mitigate this please.

Question 7

hi doctors,why would my systolic pressure 110 and diastolic 80 ,for the past 2 weeks,is this normal for a 60 year old male. thankyou?

Accepted Answer

BP: 110/80 is a normal BP, you say you have high blood pressure, ;you also list perindopril as a medication, this does treat BP

Question 8

what is a normal blood pressure for a 32 year old female after exercise?

Accepted Answer

Normal: It should be about the same as before exercise and may even be lower

Question 9

50 year old female. systolic pressure is normal but diastolic pressure is always low around 50-60. pulse pressure is normal should i worry?

Accepted Answer

: The most important BP is the systolic. Healthiest  is now equal or less than 120. Many home devices are not accurate for diastolic pressure. Have someone listen or learn how to do it this way. Most accurate.

Question 10

is having a consistently lower than normal diastolic blood pressure a good or bad thing (i.e between 40-50 mmhg) if the systolic pressure is the normal range (i.e in the 90s mmhg)?

Accepted Answer

Prob normal for you: There are some red flags associated with a low diastolic blood pressure in older people (may mean arteries are stiffer, or taking too much of an anti--hypertensive drug(s), but in a young male such as yourself, it is likely normal. Especially since your systolic blood pressure, while normal, is on the low side, too. Unless you have symptoms such as dizziness/light-headedness, I would not worry:)
