Are there exercises to do that will not increase heart rate?

I am a 48 yo female that recently had a light stroke (my left side has no pain or temperature sensation, but I can use it). The reason for the stroke is unknown. I am overweight, but have no heart disease and do not smoke. I had just gotten into exercising before I had the stroke. During my MRI it was was found the stroke affected my medulla and cerebellum. It was also found that I have an aneurysm in the vertebral artery. My doctors have put me on plavix, and I am restricted to having no caffeine, no chocolate, and cannot raise my heart rate because of the aneurysm. Are there any exercises you know I can do that will not raise my heart rate?

    well all exercises make the blood flow faster which will increase the heart rate for sure, you should see a heart specialist before you would try any exercises alone.

    Yoga should be an option. Karate or Judo will raise your heart rate but not alot.

    There are not many options.

    Hope It helps and good luck.
