It could be leaking back through the fuel pump check valve or the pressure regulator or even leaking through a damaged or gummed injector. If it's just loosing pressure, the simple fix would be to turn the key on for a couple seconds but not engage the starter, then turn it off then start the engine. That should let the engine start a little easier provided that it's just leaking at the fuel pump or the regulator. Before you throw a lot of money at a fuel pump, injectors and/or regulator, try a little injector cleaner first. It might just be that you have a small amount of deposits on one of the above mentioned parts, and a little cleaner might be all you need. Good luck

A raise in blood pressure causes this. U should get an at-home blood pressure moniter and check your levels after you excercise, to ensure that they aren't in the danger zones. It's normal for blood pressure to rise, but there's still an unhealthy level that should be watched out for.
