My BP also goes down with exercise but not that drastically. I suggest you keep a BP log to take to your cardiologist, who obviously doesn't listen very well! Note how long you exercise and what your BP is before and afterwords. Do it long enough to get good data. Your doctor will have to see the tie in if there is one. I would be concerned with a 50 pt drop too! Good luck to you!

@damecarol Exercise lowers blood pressure by making your heart stronger so it pumps blood with less effort. It also makes your blood vessels wider and more flexible, which lets blood flow easily without pushing too hard against the walls.
I was the same way. I would exercise for 45 minutes or so and get home my BP would be like 90/60. When it normally runs 150/85 He never could give me a good reason why
