HBP would not be a likely cause. It's easy enough to have BP checked. When we exercise adrenaline (epinephrine) is dumped into the body's system. It is a vasodilator makes blood vessels dilate.

After my one hour spinning class, my eyes are very bloodshot.  Could it be high blood pressure?  My eye exam last month was normal.  Should I be worried?

Start with an eye exam by an Eye MD. If its normal then it's just the dilation of blood vessesl (vasodilation) that goes along with exercise.
