What Does The BP Reading 126/43 After Exercising Indicate?
I was just at the clinic and they took my bp before exercise and 2 minutes into exercise. My blood pressure went to 128/35. They wanted to verify so a bit later we tried again and they took my BP 1 1/2 minutes into the exercise and it was 126/43. They were very concerned and told me they would be calling my doctor and getting back to me. What could this type of BP mean?

Hello,
Here, the diastolic bp is low. This may occur due to exercise only so get it checked 30 min after cool down and if remains similar then need to get auscultated once and may need echocardiography. Hope this helps you.
