Your BP will go up just a bit for just a few minutes when you first start to exercise, then generally returns to a normal level, assuming that you are fit. But your HR goes up and stays up, its rate being determined by the amount of work you are putting in, then returns to normal when you stop exercising. Hence the term "resting heart rate."

HR, BP, respiratory effort, oxygen saturation: it's a complex system of pumps that takes a lot of time and science to teach and understand thoroughly, too much for a forum. Mostly, just know if your BP and such are normal, and the best way of knowing that is to have a checkup occasionally with a qualified physician or practioner.
