My heart races when I'm stressed too and I'm a hypochondriac too as well Yaz and I workout hard three times a week plus walk my dog through tough woody terrain every day for a few miles at a fast pace. And I do feel better for it.
Exercise definitely helps combat stress and anxiety.
Start just gentle and build up - you'll feel better for it in no time - honest.
hia i am the.same as u are. it has all just hitme with a big punch all started off as chest pains now light headed 24/7 tingiling in my.body n heart polpertations . i feel as if im going to die . ive had every blood test done and all thays come back is low iron my doctor did test on me for ananxiety and im very high. i cant helpbut feel as if im going to die i have a 3yr old so im so worried im seeing someone about breathing exercise but not helping.
Sorry you are feeling like this I know that with a lil one around at times it might make you feel helpless.
Are you on iron supplements to make up the low iron? Having low iron will cause the shortness of breath, I get low iron around my menses and that's how I get worse palpatations, shortness of breath and dizziness.
Breathing exercises are helping me a great deal right now I found some videos on YouTube and they have helped
It's hard at first but then you start feeling it does help.
Hi, find that simple exercise helped me. I've got a dfog and walking him 2 or 3 times a day helps. Even just going put for a walk helps because as you do it you find you meet the same people and from there you can say hello as you walk on and then maybe exchange comments about the weather. The dog stops me staying in bed each day and I do feel a bit better afterwards. Workouts might just make you I feel even worse. I joined a gym once and it seemed as if everyone was fitter, smarter and better at it than me. Not what you want when you're not feeling your best :). Xx
That's really great your lil buddy is there to get you going, Walks are great but I find myself trying to avoid saying hi, did you have problems with this at the beginning?
Lol yes!! The gym can get intimidating I will diffenatley try to be more open minded when I go for a walk
You made it sound inviting, I think that's what I need more adult interaction.
Yes with the "hello" as I'm quite shy but with a dog it's easier. Even just smiling at someone and as quick hello made me feel less alone and if you see the same people you can get into conversation. Ivwentvto my library and found the address of a local Mind group. After about 5 days of procrastination I rang them and they were so helpful. Maybe there is a similar group near you? Very best of luck
