Am i going to cause myself any physical harm if i decide to run/workout during a minor panic attack? Specifically, shortness of breath?? Even though I've had asthma tests, and they've turned out ok, I still have this fear that if i run, i'm going to suffocate.
Hi Chris You won't cause any harm by exercising. I've read books that say staying active and exercising will help with panic attacks (although I don't exercise), did you ever try yoga? The breathing is very relaxing and I do do yoga to try and relax and calm myself down! Good luck!
If you dont have this book go to your local Library and check it out...Triumph over fear:A book of help and hope for people with Anxiety,Panic Attacks and Phobias.Author is Jerilyn Ross
