am I exercising too much with a 4.3 ascending aortic aneurysm?

On the issue of BP - Is bringing it up during exercises for a very short time still a risk?
My normal BP (I’m on meds) is always under 120/80. I’ve tested it immediately following a set of about 15 pushups and it has gone up to about 175/85. It drops back down very quickly, but is even this very short duration of being high something I should be avoiding? Thanks

According to my cardiologist (same Dr of the videos i have posted) BP increases significantly for seconds while exerting, it immediately starts coming down when you finish, so when you measure 175/85 it’s already down from it’s peak. He gave me numbers I couldn’t believe, then I watched this video an validated what he said, the numbers Dr Galpin mentions in this video are incredible, watch around minute 1:49, the video was intended for people that do strength training and weight lifting, but illustrates the risk of exerting too much and holding your breath, how BP spikes. And yes even short peaks of really high BP are detrimental
Hope this helps
