Hello!
Welcome on Healthcaremagic!
I would not recommend performing this sports, considering the fact that you have suffered from a series of strokes. This is because of several reasons:
- I assume you are taking a blood thinner and a trauma can lead to increased risk of bleeding.
- Increased motion can lead to increased stress and high blood pressure, which can increase the risk for another stroke
- Increased motion can lead to cardiac arrhythmia, especially if you have been diagnosed with such disorders before.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Kind regards, Dr. Aida
