I just take my BP medicine. I think it’s high whether I exercise or not.
The bike crash in 2020 has discouraged me from biking since, which I miss terribly. I may need to develop flexibility and balance to go riding again. When it gets a bit warmer. What worries me is mounting and dismounting, not riding.

Take 10 mg Lisinopril. That may change.
Allergist thought my breathing problem might be from more than asthma.
Cardiologist sent me for one test. A leaky heart valve was found. It is minor. It could be the reason for breathing problems.
Next week I have a three hour test to check for more problems.
WTF?
I am just a kid. OK, maybe a "mature" kid.

My parents (both in their early 70s) recently got into riding trikes. They are both loving it and it takes a lot less balance. Maybe something to consider, even if only as a step on your way back to a bicycle?

Thanks, Dol. I can see the benefits of a trike, but it’s an extra expense and space-taker, so I’ll see first what I can do with targeted exercises first…maybe even with a PT person (I already have a small suite of exercises using a chair that assist with mounting technique.)
Also, a regular bike with a dropped frame (so-called ladies’ model) would solve all my problems instantly.

I’ve always loved my mixte frame. And it takes up a lot less room than a trike!
