To your question, when I was in cardiac rehabilitation under hospital supervision following heart surgery I recall my BP was low at the end of the exercise program. Sometimes it was so low the nurse had me "stay after school" for a few minutes before releasing my to go home. My cardiologist wasn't concerned. I was at the time under a heavy dose of beta blocker, which lowered my BP in general. But, yes, lower after exercise.
