My advice would be to do 10 mins and stay at that level for a month before increasing the time, providing it doesn't provoke symptoms.

I am a bit concerned you still have head pressure and are thinking of exercising, in my case fatigue, head pressure and headaches all got worse with exercise.

In my case I am doing 45 minutes on a crosstrainer without symptoms, but it has taken me nine months to get to this level. I tried exercise in the past (with hindsight well before I was ready) but kept getting symptoms, so I took a break for several weeks before trying again.

I feel that I can step up my gym work but think its wiser to stay at a level that doesn't cause symptoms. It has to be a gradual return to exercise.
