Exercising with High Blood Pressure: What You Need to Know

If you have high blood pressure, it's important to exercise safely.

When you exercise, your blood pressure might go up, which can be risky if it's already high.

However, regular exercise actually helps to lower your blood pressure over time and makes your heart stronger.

To start, it's best to begin with gentle exercises like walking and check your blood pressure before and after.

Avoid heavy lifting at first.

If you feel dizzy or unwell, stop exercising.

The key is to be consistent, aiming for moderate exercise most days of the week, and listen to your body to ensure a safe and beneficial workout.
