Why is exercise not good for the patients high blood pressure?

It is Good!: Exercise has many cardiovascular benefits. A regular exercise program has been shown to be part of a successful weight reduction program, improve cardiovascular function and help reduce hypertension and its ill effects. However, since blood pressure normally rises with exercise those with severe hypertension may need a graduated, supervised and monitored program to start.

It is good: While blood pressure can increase during exercise as the body needs more oxygen delivered to the tissues, regular exercise actually is associated with a decreased risk of hypertension and an improved blood pressure control. One should start an exercise program slowly and build up over time.
