Rowing at 18 to 20 strokes per minute would be a good start. Spinning puts a low stress on blood pressure.
The goal should be to sustain 90 bpm for an extended period.
Regarding foot impacts, If you put in some foam ear plugs, you can hear the impact that travels to your head from each step. Changing to a softer sole shoe or changing your step to land more on your toes could help.
The vast majority of concussions include a subtle neck injury. Aggravating that neck injury can trigger symptoms. The right side issue suggests neck involvement.

Hey Mark, Thank you for the suggestion. I will definitely try this. I had a pretty serious whiplash injury during one of my concussions that is likely playing a role. I will try that and let you know how it goes. Thank you again so much, best advice I have heard/read in awhile.
