Red lawhern, Is exercise that raises your blood circulation bad for ATN?

I love running but I stopped, I know running increases your blood circulation and expands blood vessels... If I have ATN because of a blood vessel fracturing the nerve, I am thinking that running will increase blood flow and blood vessels putting me in serious pain, as my heart beats faster and pumps blood all over!

Am I right on my assessment?

Should I abstain from any exercises that increases blood circulation?

Some patients report that aerobic exercise or impact exercise like jogging or Pilates can trigger pain attacks for facial neuropathy patients. An alternative like Tai Chi or yoga may help keep you limber with less affect on your blood pressure.
