Hello @70drdiana,
I combined your discussion with an existing discussion titled:
"Blood pressure drops when exercising"
- https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/blood-pressure-drops-when-exercising/
Here, you can meet @capstanette, @jc76, and @dizzyprizzy who have all discussed blood pressure and exercise. I'd also like to invite @slynnb, @damecarol, and @janet23 who have also discussed monitoring their blood pressure and how it is effected by activity and exercise.
@70drdiana - have you had a chance to discuss this symptom with your provider? Do you experience any other symptoms when you moderately exercise or are active?

I have discussed this with my doctor. We decided to discontinue the BP meds two months ago. A couple of episodes last week sent me to the hospital. I couldn't converse with my husband on Wednesday morning after walking 9,600 steps, vacuuming, and doing other housework. I knew what I wanted to say, but I could not speak the words. It wasn't the speech, it was communicating the right words. The next morning, after mowing the grass and cleaning up the yard, I had the same problem conversing with my husband. My BP went down to 104/63. I sat on the patio to rest. Again, I could not find the correct words to communicate. It was a little more difficult to understand him. The next morning, my husband suggested I call the doctor's office. I did, and they directed me to the emergency room at the hospital. After two days of tests (CT scan, MRI, Echo Cardiogram), the doctors decided I did not have a Stroke or TIA, but Heat Exhaustion. This did not make much sense to me. I have an appointment with my doctor this Thursday to discuss this with her. Thanks.
