Yes, I would probably be fearful if my BP hit 195. I have heart valve problems and really suffer with fatigue if I do cardio workouts so I stay with seated exercise programs as well as Tai Chi. Tai Chi has very gentle, flowing movements. It helps range of motion and is very, very relaxing. Here is a Youtube video if you would like to take a look, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZxcNBejxlzs&t=31s

I hope the new RX works well for you. I look forward to hearing from you again.

Hello. thank you all for your posts regarding exercise and blood pressure. I recently had a cardio-pulmonary stress test. (CPX) The doctor is trying to determine if my long-standing symptoms of shortness of breath, low O2 sats, chest pressure, fatigue, and exercise intolerance are stemming from a problem with the heart or the lungs. During the CPX my systolic BP rose to 225. I'm not sure what the diastolic was. The technician was stopping the treadmill at that point and I was asking to stop at the same time. My final report says "no indication of cardiac or pulmonary disease". The systolic BP of 225 is not even mentioned in the report. Several hours after the test my O2 sats at home were 89,90,92 and I felt horrible. Is there anybody out there that may have had a similar experience?
