Hi
Blood pressure variation occurs with the kind of activity you are engaged in, for example in a resting state BP will be in the normal range, with active lifestyle or during exercises or stress, it tends to increase. Its important to keep a check on when your BP is high and what is the relation with activity.
Assuming your blood workup to be within normal limits, there is no need for concern. However if you have a family history of hypertension or myocardial infarction, its important to alter lifestyle and go for medication if required as hypertension can have long term complications.
Hope this helps
Regards
