Is This Normal Of Having Low BP When My Heart Rate Is High?

Hi, I m on medication for moderate HBP. I started a low carb diet, eating lots of veggies and nuts and virtually no sugar. I ve seen my blood pressure decline to about 120/85, down about 10% on both measures. However, since I ve been tracking my blood pressure regularly, I ve noticed that when my heart rate is high (80 bpm vs 60 normal) right after exercise, my blood pressure is usually much lower (105/70, roughly). Is this normal?

I have gone through your query.Thanks for using HCM.
First of all I would like to know which medicines are receiving right now.secondly if you are getting lowering of BP after exercise it needs further evaluation by ECG,Echo and exercise stress testing,
You may need restructuring of medication,
