Reply to comment by ninetentacles in ELI5: Why is exercise good to lower high blood pressure? Your blood pressure rises while exercising, so how does that not have the same effect as high blood pressure while resting? by jeezwill

I wouldn't take my personal experiences as some sort of proof. If you're looking for guidance on your own health, talk to your doctor. (Notably, I have not, to my knowledge, had covid.)

No, I was just looking for a healthy, fit control that didn't have COVID, but also had familiarity with their own heart rate.

I'm not a healthy, fit control. Even in the more-fit of those two states I was still way overweight and not particularly fit.
