BS. It's called postexercise hypotension, a direct result of exercise, not connected to hydration levels.

Every time a beautiful PA takes my BP, it's high. Nothing I can do about it. My normal is ~121 and I've seen it at 160. It's embarrassing. The first time this happened the doc put on a BP med. After I got my own monitor, it was obvious what was going on. I don't need a BP med. Now I warn the doc.
