I recently took a maximal stress test on a tread mill. My blood pressure started at 128/82 then went to 164/84 after 3 min. Then it went up to 206/88 after the next three minutes. After 3 more minutes it went to 244/98 and they stopped it. My heart rate was 146 then. What might cause that to happen? My doctor just put me on a blood pressure medicine.
