That said, if you are nervous, call and talk to your therapist. He/she may reassure you or tell you to ease into doing your exercises. It does seem like a lot to me. I know I didn't start with 7 exercises, which isn't to say that there is anything wrong with it, but I could see why it's overwhelming to you.
I remember that high feeling. I had it for months. Do you feel like it's in part caused by how you are seeing things or is it just a feeling in your head?

I feel like its in part how I am seeing things. I guess I'm basically re-training my brain to see things differently with these exercises so maybe it puts additional stress on the brain until the brain can fully adjust. I definitely did not feel this "high" anytime recently. It does feel like its all right behind my eyes.. Sorta like my eye muscles are a little sore? It's difficult to explain.
Just to be safe I'm going to shoot my PT an email and ask if this is normal and if\when I need to stop. 5 of 7 of my exercises are 2-3 times daily so I'm just gonna do them 2 times a day now until I feel more comfortable to move to 3.
