Default possible aneurysm and exercise

I might mention I'm a professional worrier.

Thanks.
I was warned not to let my blood pressure elevate, not to life anything over ten lbs, because this causes strain on the blood vessels in the brain. Everyone told me not to bend over ans let blood rush to my head either. I have followed these guidelines. My first aneurysm was coiled in July, my second one , we are watching, and yesterday I found out I have a third, but it is only 2.2mm. I hope this helps
