Does walking lower blood pressure immediately?

No walking do not lower blood pressure immediately in minutes but a regular habit of at least 20 minutes of brisk or moderate walking for 5 days in a week helps in controlling it gradually. Exercise lowers blood pressure by reducing blood vessel stiffness so blood can flow more easily
