Well, I bought a treadmill about a month ago and I have been able to finally use it throughout the past few days. I was sick with bronchitis for a while and the breathing was already difficult enough that I didn't even attempt to get on the treadmill with it. So, Wednesday I decided that I would walk on it for a little more than a mile. I noticed that I had a panic attack that night and also some lingering anxiety. Did about the same amount of exercise on Thursday and had the same issue with the panic and anxiety. Well, the last two days produced the same results and it is rather frustrating. Everytime I work out, I have horrible panic and anxiety. My psychiatrist told me last time I saw him that exercise is definitely good in the long run but yet in the short term it will cause anxiety and also induce more panic-like events. He told me that when our muscles are sore that they release lactic acid into the blood stream and that if you were to inject 10 people with lactic acid, that 9 of them would have a panic-like event. I listen to what my psychiatrist says because although he works for a place that helps low-income individuals that have mental health disorders, he graduated from Johns Hopkins University and is very intelligent. Anyone else notice this issue when exercising? I have been told that losing weight would help my anxiety and panic but these past few days have been torture!
