What are the differences between low blood pressure and high blood pressure?

Patient's question:

I have been experiencing heart palpitations, dizziness, and tinnitus when I engage in intense exercise recently, and it takes a long time to recover after stopping to rest. Can both low blood pressure and high blood pressure prevent intense exercise? How can I distinguish between them? What are the differences between low blood pressure and high blood pressure?

Doctor's answer:

The fundamental difference between low blood pressure and high blood pressure is essentially the fluctuation in values, which is the most obvious indicator. If these issues of low blood pressure or high blood pressure reoccur, they can indeed pose a risk to life. Therefore, it is important to manage them properly. Generally, high blood pressure tends to reoccur after intense exercise, or low blood pressure can be easily brought on by overexertion.
