Is Bowling Safe While Suffering From An Arterial Blockage?
Hi Doctor, an elderly friend is scheduled to have a test to check for arterial blockage next week. He was told not to lift anything over 10 lbs, and think that means AFTER the test - while I think it means from now until he s cleared. He s planning to bowl tonight with a 14-lb ball and I don t think it s a good idea. Can you please send your recommendation? Thank you!

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Where is the blockage? If it cardiac they don't do bowling. If it is leg vascular block and your claudication distance is more than 1 km means you can try.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
