BP response.: BP normally rises with exercise but in some it rises excessively - may indicate lack of conditioning, medication effect, tendency toward high BP or undertreated BP. I generally comment on the BP response to exercise in my reports, but recognize this is not always done. Talk with your doc directly about this. Measure your BP at home or at the drug store and see what it looks like on average.

Yes and no: I'm sure if there was something serious then your doctor would have mentioned it before you left the clinic. That being said, it is never good to assume anything if you are not clear. I would give your doctor a call and just confirm that everything was normal, and then ask if there is anything he/she recommends or if any follow up is needed.
