Hello, I am 39 years old. I have been diagnosed with high blood pressure. I started trying natural methods to treat it. I realized after exercising I felt uncomfortable. I think I should do specific exercises for high blood pressure patients. Can anyone suggest the best exercise for lowering high blood pressure?

@mukeshh Hello, exercise is very effective in lowering blood pressure. Exercise lowers blood pressure by reducing blood vessel stiffness so blood can flow more easily. The effects of exercise are most noticeable during and immediately after a workout. Lowered blood pressure can be most significant right after you work out. Some of the best exercises for high blood pressure are Cardio exercises (As a hypertension patient, you can choose some light cardio exercises like brisk walking, dancing, jumping ropes, swimming, cycling or try jumping jacks.), Strength training, Climb the stairs (Strength training). You can consult your doctor for a clear picture about the type, intensity and duration of the exercise. You should also make necessary changes to your diet to control high blood pressure like reducing salt intake, adding more fibre to your diet and many more.
