Is it advisable to do exercise when affected by Carotid Artery Dissection? Which activities would you suggest and how intense should they be?

I would say whatever your doctor tells you. I would say walking, light weights, bike ride...just be careful of your neck.

Limiting exercise seems to be the best path, the Blood pressure should be kept lower 120/80 is Normal by all standards An anuerysm Pt with a pressure of 117 /70 is much better off then one of 140/90 keeping your BP down takes the stress and strain off of that Carotid "Bulge" is it a good idea to operate a vehicle with a tire tube with a huge bubble coming out of the sidewall? if you had 3 miles to the nearist Garage does Driving as fast as you can make sense ?
