Just light exercise, yoga, for a few days. My Dr is trying a different rx that I will pick up today so Monday I will experiment again. I I told him I will try new treatments before trying nephrology. I will keep you posted on the results.
Once my BP hit 195 I was afraid to continue my cardio workout. Hopefully I can get back to that

Don't you think it's normal to go up when you exercise ?your heart rate does and since it comes back down then as your heart rate does also?

I agree. However, a spike from 130/76, resting to 207/125 during exercise is a little disconcerting. Especially when a past treadmill stress test (10 years ago) did not have this spike. I wouldn't be as concerned if I didn't have chest discomfort (also feels like my heart is flipping over in my chest at times unrelated to exercise) as well as extreme fatigue. If all this is normal, I guess I should save my worry and money.

In that case I would be concerned also ,have you seen your cardiologist yet?With chest pain you need to be checked out

Yes, cardiologist did exam, Treadmill Stress Test and Echocardiogram. I have 1st degree A/V block and "leaky" valves which are normal for my age. The spike in BP is not, though and the cardiologist is referring back to PCP for management. I'm concerned about the next step. I'm concerned about BP meds due to "normal" BP when not exercising. Just trying to be knowledgeable before getting on the "merry-go-round" of recommendations. I want to keep exercising and don't need a "train wreck".

Agree just talk to your PCP

I expect it is normal for the heart rate to increase during exercise. I did have a treadmill test yesterday so waiting for a review by cardiology. I couldn't see what my bp was at the hardest workout however after the cool down I was at 220/90. By the time I was released I was down to 140/70 which is still high for me but low enough to be safe to leave. I just have not read of a treatment. I will probably just not be able to do a strenuous workout. Just stick to low to moderate exercise.

Your heart "flipping over in your chest" sounds like ectopics or bouts of atrial fibrillation. Perhaps your cardiologist did not realize you meant that symptom when you referred to discomfort. You might ask to wear a Holter monitor for awhile.

HI I was doing this and it turned out I had Fibromuscular Dysplasia of renal arteries. Fibromuscular dysplasia is a condition that causes narrowing (stenosis) and enlargement (aneurysm) of the medium-sized arteries in your body. Reduced blood flow from narrowed arteries to the organs can affect the function of the organs. when it affects renal arteries exercise can induce sudden large BP change. It can be in arteries any wear heart, keck other organs. So I think perhaps ask you physician to rule that out it is extremely dangerous. My GP had sent me for MRI and the radiologist overheard my symptoms adn called her to change to CT with contrast he knew what it was with the symptoms.

I was just diagnosed with exercise induced hypertension. Blood pressure is usually low any other time. I was wondering if you pursued the nephrology doctor? Have you gotten any relief? I hope so. Nancy Jacobs
