Normally during exercise, blood pressure increases to push the flow of oxygen-rich blood throughout the body. However, in some individuals, the response to exercise is exaggerated. Instead of reaching a systolic (upper number) blood pressure of around 200 mmHg at maximal exercise, they spike at 250 mmHg or higher.
Anxiety causes high blood pressure by increasing heart rate and constricting the blood vessels. Anxiety does not change a person's body or permanently cause high blood pressure. Rather, it simply causes a spike in blood pressure that may last until the anxiety dissipates. Those with high anxiety may experience high blood pressure often as a result of their constant anxiety, but any time they're anxiety free their blood pressure should return to their normal baseline.
