    Yes take your time, and move up to a harder workout. Don’t start out with a harder one, start off slow, and then move your way up.

    YES!!!!! You can cause a stroke or heart attack or annurisym if you are genetically prone to have one. Go to the Dr. 1st and get on a BP medication and as you work out check your BP frequently. It should lower just because you are working out again and then because you have lost weight and then you probably wont need the meds anymore. But be careful, if you exercise and drop your BP and dont check it you could pass out and doing this while your driving or whatever can be dangerous also. Rule of thumb is check your BP often and know what to do to raise your BP and to lower it quickly if you have to. There are many simple things you can do to lower your BP like bearing down (pushing like you have to go #2, but try not to hold your breath.)

    Get a heart rate monitor and work out with it. Don’t push yourself past 160, if you are female. You don’t want to push yourself and then quit anyway. Besides, if you work out too hard, you are only burning off sugar, your energy, you want to burn off your fat.
