blood pressure during exercise

[erijshh]

I had a normal stress test a few months ago,   but I got my wife (experienced RN) to take my BP repeatedly while I worked out.   Noticed BP was all over the place......minute by minute,   the pattern went something like this....  140/40,  125/75,   130/52,  88/60, 135/70, 120/50, 135/70, 108/62.     All over the place.    seems like I get a sinking, nauseating feeling in my chest when I first start and begin to cool down my cardio workout.     I had a normal cardiac CTA 3 months ago, and a normal echo.     But even when not working out,   I've had atypical chest pain (constant) ligthheadedness,  early heart beats on the holter monitor,  and a generall ill feeling like I'm living in  a dream state  (had brain scan too).      Any thoughts?

Looks like another name to add to the list, eh jimbc, beebay, if_i_had you, carlot, Thompson383, Bluedog, people013, zuzzu, ajibdi, stinky534, idathunkit, tactac, help30439, cheeta_breeda, neegnomer, crabdaddy358, save_a_heart & sleepy_pete.

Still looking for that silver bullet............... Good luck, I truely hope you find it. Until then others will just have to wait for you to finish your obsession before they can post. Don't worry, I give up, there is no getting you to listen to reason, continue the abuse as other forum doctors have called it.

(at least this screen name has some thought behind it)

Your blood pressure is a dynamic measurement and it can change from moment to moment.  It should increase with activity and decrease with rest.  Your symptoms could be a sign that you are not in good physical condition as it sounds like all of your heart tests are normal.  Try to gradually increase your activity and see if the symptoms improve.

PS, I had a sleep study,  I have very mild sleep apnea and the pulmonologist said it's quite unlikely the cause of all this.   The cardioligist cannot find anythign either.
