Hi,
The excess physical exertion can lead high blood pressure temporarily. So your blood pressure could be elevated by some exertion. You can measure your blood pressure in resting position. If still come high than rule out secondary cause for hypertension.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
