Heart rate exercise: During exercise the response of heart rate and blood pressure is related to the intensity and duration of the exercise load. If you do high intensity exercise reaching the high intensity rapidly, your rate and bp will go up faster than a slow gradual increase in exercise to a low intensity exercise level. Postsustained exercise period during which vasodilation occurs,diastolic may be low

Yes!: Normally diastolic blood pressure will fall during exercise and for several hours afterwards. This is because off vasodilation that normally occurs. Systolic BP should always rise. However, in hypertension, the diastolic pressure will rise too, imposing an unnecessary work load on the heart. Increase in heart rate is based on exercise intensity. Normally the HR max is 220-age in years.
