i tried to go for a light jog this morning around the block and nearly had a panic attack after running a few feet. i felt short of breath which led me to the fear that i would get the H-word and pass out on the ground and help would arrive too late. yep this is the whole scenario that played out in my head. do any of yall work out? i was successful at working out in the gym but since we arent able to go to the gym i tried to run today to ease some of this virus anxiety. do any of yall workout? do you ever get short of breath and start to panic so you stop? in the gym i keep pushing myself because im not consistent enough AT ALL for my body to be used to it. help me
You have to keep trying consistently. It’s anxiety and you are running with fear. If you’ve been cleared by your doctor, keep trying. Start with walking, then fast pace walking, and then run.
yes , I cant work out because of it . I start to panic everytime. My heart rate is always racing .
Do you take any kind of medications as well?
yeah im gonna try that tomorrow. i think i didnt warm up enough. usually at the gym i push myself to keep going idk why i couldnt today.
my heart starts to pound… it freaks me out so bad
just hydroxyzine… for anxiety. but i didnt take anything at the time
Okay. Has your doctor ever recommended you Xanax for anxiety? Or anxiety is not that a big issue with you?
H word?
