Hello There
After going through your medical query I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that weight lifting or exertional activities momentarily raise your blood pressure which can be a popping feeling. It’s recommended for you to check your blood pressure and if it is more than 140/90 then consult your physician.
Hopefully this information will guide you properly.
Kind Regards
Dr Bhanu Partap
