High Blood pressure and exercise
I am male 48. I have problem of high bp. I take Telvas H 40/12.5 once in the morning. My BP used to be 140/90 . My doctor suggested me for walking. I started walking but since few days due to some problem I can't go for walking. Now I have developed interest in muscle building. So now I do some push-ups and dumbbell exercises at home with spot jogging for 10-15 minutes. But I have found that if I do the proper exercise my BP is not down, it increases a bit. Shall I do very light exercise ? Or what to do? But for muscle development I will have to work a little bit hard. Please suggest.
