Low blood pressure while exercising Posted: 04-20-08 19:03pm
I am 33 years old and have had strange
symptoms, mainly headaches, dizziness and
fatigue, I just got all my blood tests
back and my blood work looks normal.
I was getting an orientation today at the
YMCA on the circuit. I was only at the 2nd
machine when suddenly I felt dizzy. This
happens all the time lately, especially if
I do more than a lazy workout (lately I
can only walk on the treadmill at a slow
pace). I guess my face turned extremely
red. The personal trainer took my blood
pressure. My blood pressure was 85/74 and
the heart rate was 71. She took it again
five minutes later and it was 111/83 and
heart rate was 79. She stated that I
couldn't work out at the Y until I got a
doctor's clearance. I guess this shows I
could possibly have a heart condition.
Even when I walk on the treadmill, I get
slightly dizzy and feel like I am going to
fall asleep.
My resting heart rate used to be at 90,
which was pretty high but was normal for
me. It is just strange that with exercise,
my pulse and blood pressure went down.
Anyone hear of such a thing? Very very
strange.
Anyone else experience this? It's just
strange that my resting blood pressure is
normal and my heart rate is higher when I
am resting as opposed to working out.
I will get into the doctor tomorrow. My
chest does hurt right now and has had a
mild "pain" for the past 8 or so years. I
had an EKG about 8 years ago and that came
back normal. However, I was not required
to exercise during the EKG at all. It was
resting.

I went to the doctor and the resting EKG
turned out normal, which was expected
because I am fine without exertion. I am
getting a stress-ekg within the next few
days. Will see what happens. My mom has
valve problems so the doctor is thinking
that could be the case.
i guess not a lot of people on here have
guesses. It is kind of strange.
