Intracerebral hemorrhage recovery and prevention

Health Description
Health Consultation Description: I had an intracerebral hemorrhage (stroke) two years ago. My blood pressure is now stabilized with blood pressure pills. I am 71 yrs of age, 5'10", 172 - 174 pounds and in good physical condition.
1. Will scuba diving be advisable?
2. Can I exercise to the point of dry vomiting without being concerned about another stroke?

Condition analysis:
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.

Intracerebral hemorrhage is at increased risk with increasing age, hypertension and other causes.

SCUBA diving is linked with ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attacks.

Any excessive stress, sudden cold exposure , anxiety may lead to elevation in blood pressure and may be harmful.

Even exercise should be done to mild to moderate extent and should not be done to limits.

Good and healthy lifestyle is key to prevention of recurrent stroke.

Hope you found the answer helpful.

Instructions:
Recovery & prevention: Immediately after an ICH, the patient will stay in the intensive care unit (ICU) for several weeks where doctors and nurses watch them closely for signs of rebleeding, hydrocephalus, and other complications. Once their condition is stable, the patient is transferred to a regular room.

ICH patients may suffer short-term and/or long-term deficits as a result of the bleed or the treatment. Some of these deficits may disappear over time with healing and therapy. The recovery process may take weeks, months, or years to understand the level of deficits incurred and regain function.
