Hi Lizzie,

It is normal for blood pressure to be lower after exercise. If you are not experiencing symptoms of low blood pressure (dizziness/lightheadedness), mostlikely not a concern. Here is a link to information on low blood pressure - http://www.healthcentral.com/encyclopedia/408/74.html.

All the best,

Lisa Nelson RD
