I have dealt with terrible vertigo, which affects my balance and increases my risk of falls. I've been involved in exercise programs that help with balance, mainly online exercise classes. Tai Chi has been proven to be very effective for Parkinson's. I subscribed to many of the free YouTube channels that offer PD exercises.

I have had heart stress tests (nuclear tests) to determine heart function and, of course, echocardiograms twice a year (I have heart valve damage from childhood Rheumatic Fever). There is a lot to consider, isn't there?

@hopeful33250 yes there is I start my cardio work up next Monday with an echocardiogram and Tuesday a heart monitor for 10 days. I really am enjoying my Tai Chi and Boxing classes the hard one for me is the walking at the mall by Friday I don’t have much energy left. That’s where we have to push ourselves!
