Blood Pressure UK said: “Lack of physical activity is linked to high blood pressure, and being more active will lower your blood pressure.
“If you have high blood pressure, you should be able to be more active fairly safely.
“But to be safe, it’s always a good idea to talk to your doctor or nurse before starting any new physical activity.
“Some extreme sports like scuba diving or skydiving can be dangerous if your blood pressure is not under control. You will need a medical certificate from your doctor to start or continue practicing them.”
