HI Sanju, exercise does make you feel better. But perhaps u could do less instense exercise. My doc suggested that I do more walking at the start and then as I get better begin to get back into the instense stuff. Often a racing heartbeat from intense exericise can trigger off panic attacks. I've never done yoga, but people seem to think it's good. I did a little hypnotherapy. I think that helped. There's stacks of breathing and relaxtion exercises that u can do from home. Relaxation tapes for one. CYA
hi thanx for answering..no i,m not doing anything besides excercising to relieve my stress..i was thinking of joining a yoga class at the gym..would that be a good idea??any other suggestions?is there anything i can do at home??thanks a tonne
Hi Sanju. I think it's the stress you've been going through, excercise is supposed to help you. Stress is a major trigger for anxiety and panic. Maybe you shouldn't work out so hard for now and then build back up to what you're used to doing. Have you been doing any relaxation techniques through this stressful time? What are you doing, other than exercise, to relieve your stress?
