Dr. Robert Killian answered

Specializes in General Practice

It all depends: It all depends on several variables: State of hydration, any post work out pain, use of caffeine or other stimulants, the amount of sugars in your system, etc. Why would any 22 yo male be measuring his blood pressure after a work out?
