I was so anxious to aggravate my situation but was really had fun and I was really surprised to felt normal again . Whata wonderfull state. It s beeen close to 6 months now and I am also very curious is anybody felt that way . It felt like my brain got a lots of oxygen . Can somebody please respond .... I am going to see my doc this week and would like him to answer me but I really don't believe in doctor anymore. Thanks |

I have walked in the pool at the gym. I push through the water in a lunging style. I would walk for 45 minutes to an hour. It calculated to almost a mile. It felt great. But, the gym does not accept my Medicare Pass anymore.
One benefit of swimming is how it stimulates blood flow without raising your pulse or BP. Plus, the refreshing feeling is very therapeutic.

Wow. I too went into the pool and it felt wonderful. I was able to do a couple of laps. I was afraid to go under but I'll take it. I'm trying new old things slowly to see what I can and cant do. We dont know until we try.

Swimming is a good activity. But if you are swimming laps, your HR can rise quite quickly. I find it best to take time between laps, and to change strokes. Try to build yourself up little by little. Don't go overboard.
