After Angioplasty one should begin with first plain simple walking. Increase it in duration & speed gradually over 4 weeks until you are comfortable walking for an hour without symptoms of breathlessness/ angina/ giddiness/palpitations.
After that you may start other modes of physical activity like swimming.
Next Steps
Keep regular follow-up with cardiologist every 3 months for first year then as advised.
