Does blood pressure increase when peripheral blood vessels dilate?

according to bernoulli's principle and just like BP vs. vasodilation.... when the pipe gets bigger (dilation) the pressure goes down. just like putting ur thumb over the end of a garden hose thusly decreasing the size of the pipe the pressure skyrockets.

How do peripheral vasodilators work?
Peripheral vasodilators work by relaxing the smooth muscle in the walls of blood vessels, which causes them to dilate and widen. This leads to a decrease in resistance to blood flow, resulting in increased blood flow to the peripheral tissues. This can help reduce high blood pressure and improve circulation.
Does oxygen dilate blood vessels?
No, oxygen does not dilate blood vessels. In fact, oxygen has a vasoconstrictive effect, which means it causes blood vessels to constrict or narrow. This helps regulate blood flow and pressure in the body.
Why do your eyes get bloodshot after laying upside down?
When you lay upside down, the blood rushes to your head, causing an increase in blood pressure in the blood vessels in your eyes. This increased pressure can make the blood vessels in your eyes dilate, appear red, and give a bloodshot appearance.

Why does blood pressure decrease after long term exercise?
Yes your blood pressure will decrease for a couple of different reasons: The first is that your blood vessels have dilated to provide muscles with an increase in oxygenated blood and the surface (peripheral blood vessels) will dilate to increase the rate of heat loss from the body. Over a sustained period of exercise (months) the blood vessels will become more elastic, decreasing the pressure on the vessel walls and more importantly on the left ventricle of the heart. There will be a similar decrease in your resting heart rate. Overall your cardiovascular system will become "younger".
