Is it advisable to do exercise when affected by Visual Snow? Which activities would you suggest and how intense should they be?
See if it is advisable for people with Visual Snow to practice sports and which ones are the most recommended if you have Visual Snow
Work out sessions are a good way to combat the low energy that comes from visual snow. I would not recommend an intense workout though, keep it under an hour for health reasons.

I suggest moderate exercise.

This will help mood and physically improve the body's well being. As long as the environment isn't overwhelming from the VS. This is a coping mechanism.

Any excercise is useful in order to reduce the anxiety level.

I personally would not recommend intense exercise as it can trigger migraines and I get pulsating vision.

Light exercise. Don't stress

Exercise is great, I personally do yoga due to the relaxing nature which can help with my VS (visual snow) because stress can agitate it. As for more intense exercises, I haven't noticed any negative effect, however if you have VS and notice negative effects then it may be a good idea to lower the intensity. Exercise is a great way to improve your mental health, since physical and mental health are heavily linked. However exercise is no cure for any mental illness, and should not be treated as such, more of a healthy way of improving the symptoms.

Running and walk helps with me, I don't see my static when running around. Try becoming an esports pro? Playing online games seem to work very well!

Yes. It helps to manage anxiety and stress. If I exercise too heavily then I have worse symptoms though. Moderate exercise is okay. I ride my bike for 30 minuets regularly

Visual snow just is. Carry on!

I cured visual snow with intense interval and long distance exercise on a bicycle. Initially, blood pressure and heart rate may intensify VS. On the normalization of heart rate and BP, VS actually reduced to a lower baseline level, that became evident over weeks of consistent exercise.

As long as your vision is good enough, any/all exercise can be performed.

Patients with visual snow can do all sorts of exercise, intense workout may increase the intensity of the shaking dots, eventually it goes back to base line after time.

Again this is subjective and entirely dependent on the severity of your symptoms and your current quality of life.
I managed 18 years of British Army service in the Scottish Infantry with VSS symptoms. I didn’t realise I had issues and thought everyone seen what I seen. My job role required a lot of arduous exercise with no change to my symptoms.
It has only been later in life I have experienced major issues which effects my quality of life and ability to function to a high degree day to day so currently I would find physical exercise difficult.
