@hocmgirl I am new to this diagnosis, and still learning how to listen to my body. I was told to stick to low impact and especially no sudden changes with exertion (like doing squats quickly). Be over hydrated, 1.5 cups of coffee or equivalent per day, don't get overheated, and they are considering a pacemaker as my heart rate is already low (40's and 50's). I am a 60 year old female. I will stick with low impact exercise bike, swimming or walking. Until this is stabilized, I will take it easy. I work in an elementary school, so that alone gives me physical activity!
