I have fibromuscular dysplasia in the cerebral artery and carotid arteries and some in the spine, we get aneurysms and dissections. I work as a nurse.
We should not lift weights at all and not run because it increases blood flow in the arteries, from the heart to the femoral arteries it is not a long way. So I do nothing like that, long walks are my exercise.

Thanks very much for your reply. I will be talking to my GP and others about appropriate exercise, but the message certainly seems clear to reduce straining, weights, running, and anything else that spikes blood pressure. I am hoping that swimming (freestyle) will also be OK, as I live near the sea.
