Thank you..will check out Dr. Farvolden's answer. Will not stop going to the gym.. Hugs4U I will start also doing some weights instead of all cardio weights are also good for you..
This actually is quite common. Hugs make some great points. As Hugs mentions check out Dr. Farvolden's answer to this month's question in Ask the Expert. Due to anxiety it could be you are hypervigilant to any out of the ordinary phyical sensations you have. Doing exposure work to address this feeling could be a good start.
Josie states we often make that mistake on May 7, in her "did you know it" forum, building on Dr Farvoldan's May "expert" monthly column cautioning us not to get into the panic cycle.
My physician gave me a range, with an upper limit, which she taught me to measure for my reasurrance, which would be okay on average. After that average, a person with a heart issue(like the one in Dr F's column) needs further medical intervention for a physical intervention, or it's just our perception and we have to use the tools of CBT(progressive relaxation,etc).
You can also get something that gives you what you want in physical stimulation, without the extra heart rate, although most want cardio. An exercise physiologist might suggest yoga, pilates...these are attractive...but I need cardio. Being overweight(BMI over 30) puts a load so great on knees, that you are 8 times more likely to get osteoarthritus, warned my physiotherapist, so I'll skill the yoga, pilates for a mix of bikes in the gym and ellipticals,treadmills
Ok as all of you that know me by now know that I love to exercise but lately when I feel my heart rate go up and I start to breath heavy I get nervous and think I will have a panic attack.
I know that exercise is one of the best methods for panic/anxiety and it has always helped me but lately I'm anxious about it!
