Could i exercise at 79 years old with high blood pressure ?

I would recommend: Taking medications to control your blood pressure and first having a doctor run some tests to evaluate your heart first for any strenuous exercise. Walking is normally ok and a good idea.

Hello! I recently had an annual exam with a blood pressure of 136/76 which the nurse said was good. They didnt say anything else. I looked up the numbers online and 136 seems high. In the past couple of years my systolic numbers have been 118 and 128. Im 33 years old with a vegetarian diet. Wondering if the recent quarantine sedentary habits have contributed to higher systolic BP. What is your advice? Thanks! Blood pressure
