i have been taking my bp here and there for the past year. i think i was curious one day and took it. to my amazement it was high, really high. so i try to check it regularly now. anyway, sometime when at the gym i get dizzy and i was just wondering if this could be from high bp? it's not like i ever over due my exercising or anything...

Exercise guarantees lower BP in most people. Check with your doc before and get clearance. The only thing keeping my wife off of bp meds is exercise. Go!
