Are we elevating our IOP by engaging in intense exercise regimens that lower our blood pressure?

I notice that after my workouts my blood pressure declines precipitiously to approximately 90/50. My heart rate is approximately 38-45 beats per minute. Due to the association of low blood pressure with potential damage to the optic nerve should we be decreasing the intensity of our exercise regimens to prevent too low blood pressure changes?
