low blood pressure after an exercise

[iraklibox]

Hi my name is Irakli I live in London 41 years old. My average blood pressure varies between 120/80 and 117/77 pulse 78 or 80. Recently I started to ice skate once a week and after the session like 6, 8 hours after, I notice little uncomfortable feeling and when I measure my blood pressure on device it shows 106/77 or 104/78 pulse 86. Should I carry on my ice skating (which I never done before) or should I be worried with blood pressure dropping like this even once a week and can this lead to a stroke? I have this BBC presenter in mind who had a stroke on the rowing machine.

The results are insignificant. Sometimes a little information is too much. Sometimes I think it would be better if the home blood pressure meter had never been invented. They induced hypochondria.

Continue with your skating and exercise and don't worry.

Hi Irakli. Greek-Cypriot background perhaps?

Your skating  sessions are presently likely causing lactic acid to build up to a level where it causes vasodilation ( blood vessels get dilated) so there's sustained higher blood flow, less blood volume in the heart, thus lower blood pressure.
Also the increased heat generated by the exercise, causes dilation of blood
vessels in turn as a compensatory mechanism to lower heat, this too contributes further to lowering blood pressure.
Sodium should be replaced on a regular basis, if you have loss due to perspiration during exercise. Lower sodium--> lower blood pressure.
Staying hydrated at all times is highly recommended as dehydration is another cause of low blood pressure.

The drop of your blood pressure is not dramatic.
I think as you are getting more efficient in skating, this will improve your
  blood pressure regulation.
Proper warming up and cooling down is very important in reducing the
risk of having uncomfortable fainting-like symptoms
However, it is a known fact that exercise does lower blood pressure,
so don't be too alarmed.
Isolated events like the BBC presenter's stroke while on a rowing machine
should not be a cause for concern, if you have no underlying issues to put you at a higher risk for a stroke.

I hope this helps.

Cheers,
Niko
