What Is The Cause Of Spike In The BP After A Strenous Work?
My husband has a history of HBP but for the last two weeks anytime he does strenuous work or exercise he has a spike in his BP which causes his head to hurt extremely bad his resting BP is good they changed his meds but that has not helped I think it could be something else that s causing the spike in his BP.

Hi,
Strenous work or exercise is causing his BP to spike. I advise to :
- monitor your BP
- avoid exercise
- schedule appointment with cardiologist to further evaluate your situation
- run EKG, stress test, cardiac echo
- take his medications as prescribed by the doctor
Hope it was of help!
