Need suggestions for exercise after accident
Hello --- It has been a while since I have posted. 15 days ago I passed out because of dehydration and hit the back of my head on concrete. I was rushed to the ER and had a million tests (and probably a million dollars too.) I was given fluids and was sent home to rest for a week and not to be left alone. I had a nasty bruise on my face where we think I bounced off the retaining wall and a goose egg on the back of my head. I iced my head for a week to help the healing process. I was told to wait 2 weeks before I resumed exercising.
So last Friday I went back to the gym. Started on the treadmill at 2 incline, 2.5 miles an hour. About 5 minutes into it my head was pounding and I thought I would throw up. I kept it up for 20 minutes and it wasn't getting any better so I went to the bike thinking that maybe it was the bounce involved with the treadmill. It didn't get any better. I can home and ate some cheese and laid down. About 4 hours later I felt better. I called my PCP and she said that I need to wait another week and maybe try the bike first. She has a feeling that it was cause my a raise heartbeat.
So any suggestions for exercises that I can do at home without fancy equipment that won't raise my pulse? I look forward to hearing from you... now I am off to drink my fluids.
