Did your blood pressure go up?

Maggie218

I've been in Nazi-Workout mode for the past 11 days, working toward my goal of 30 days. I worked out around 6:30 this morning, then at 10:30 at work they had a blood pressure & cholesterol screening offered for free so I did it. My blood pressure is 136/90, which is borderline hypertension.

Since I started working out, it does seem like my heart is pumping faster all the time, (but not racing at a dangerous level, just a little faster) Does anyone know if this is normal? Has anyone else experienced the same thing?
