Question: My BP went from 125/ 80 to 149 /49 on a treadmill stress test, What does this mean!?
The information available on the net says that diastolic BP shouldn't change that much during exerciseWww@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Sadly, the readings mean something quite different from what your two other Answers say!. Your "mean pressure" fell drastically under stress, instead of rising to cope with it!. It would have been helpful if you'd been able to state what your pulse-rate did at the same time because your pressures are only half of the story!.
Also, -did you begin to feel angina pain!?

Your 'mean pressure' dropped from 125 to 82 and it did this because more blood was being permitted to pass down and through your arteries than was being pumped back in to replenish them!. This was the direct result of impaired cardiac ability!.

It's true that if your heart is fit, healthy, and capable of doing its task, then it will maintain diastolic pressure (or even slightly increase it) under stress!. And because "mean" is simply "diastolic plus a little bit" ,-in practice-, it too should stay the same under stress!. Yours didn't, and unfortunately it means there is something amiss, which, if possible, should be identified and put right!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

that is absolutely normal of course it goes up when you do exercise you are right though don't understand that went down instead of up also!.!.!. but down to 49!.!.!.I would expect both to go up!.!.!.Your stress test must have been evaluated and if the doctor found it abnormal he would have told you!.!.!.or your family physician!. if neither one of them told you of any concern!.!.!. then they consider it normal!.!.!.xxWww@Answer-Health@Com

you should only worry when it goes up dangerously!. if it comes down, there is no trouble!. infact, you are getting out of heart complications, etc!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
