Yes, I would consult your Dr. There are various intervals you can do though, go to a local school and walk up and down bleachers, the up is the high intensity and down is the cool down. As you progress to jogging and then running up the bleachers you are able to control the intensity and the speed at which you walk down allows you to accomodate how long it takes for you to cool down. Another option is to walk/jog around a regular running track, as you get stronger you can run faster on the sprint portions (100M each side of track) and then walk and hopefully eventually jog the corners as you get stronger.
