Regular exercise can bring down the blood pressure in the long run. Though blood pressure rises progressively with increasing exercise, it reduces the resting blood pressure in the long run. Maintaining normal blood pressure also reduces the risk of stroke and myocardial infarction.

When thyroid function is increased, heart rate increases and the work load of the heart increases. In severe cases heart failure may occur. While in low output heart failure the extremities are cold, in high output failure due to increased thyroid function, the extremities of the limbs are warm.
