I am not an expert, but I believe the BP spikes during the exercise/grunting/holding breath, don't know how long the spike lasts but don't believe very long. I am trying to find a video I was watching yesterday where Dr Galpin explains how much (his number would surprise you) and why BP rises, it was of course not related to aneurysms, but in our case is relevant, when I find it I will post the link

If you’re taking beta blockers the pressure hitting the aortic root and ascending aortia is greatly reduced. Not saying it is ok to go heavy on weight lifting. I guess heavy is relative. My surgeon and my cardio doc support me lifting and riding mountain bike. Breathing correct is very important of course. I am 62 - 215 5,10 1/2 with a 4.3 aortic root. I lift weights 2-3 times a week..bench for example on machine 100 -125 pounds 15-20 rep 4 set’s instead of going heavier each set to failure. Ride my mtn bike same 2-3 times per week for 60 min average heart rate 125-130 less than 100 when I lift. Not ideal to lift light but better than not working out
