Exercise and rosacea question [long]

[Guest guest]

I know that exercise in general is NOT good for people with cea

because it causes more flushing.

However, I read that people who do aerobic exercises for long time,

develop lower blood pressure and lower resting heart rate.

Also exercise helps people to coupe easier with stress.

So lets see, aerobic exercise = lower blood pressure, lower resting

heart rate, less stress. *Seems* like a pretty good thing

for people with cea. So should we exercise or not???

I personally love swimming long laps in the pool, but altho the water

in the pool is pretty cold... everytime I get out of the water my

entire face is pink, almost red.

I havent been swimming for too long. Im really confused whether I

should stick with swimming and hope that overtime my health will

improve in general (blood pressure/heart rate/etc) OR I should forget

about any type of exercise completely until my skin doesnt flush

anymore...

I love exercise, I used to spend hours each and every day at the GYM

lifting weights, why I stopped? Because of cea, all those weights

were making my skin progressivly redder and redder, so I pretty much

gave up on GYM.

Now Im swimming in the pool to stay in shape... but even swimming in

cold water still causes my skin to blush...

So now what, should I give up on swimming as well???

Cheers,
