How many here try to exercise regularly?

Does it make you feel better or worse after you do it?

Sometimes I end up feeling worse but, usually, I feel better. I try to use
a exercise bike about half an hour a day.

Not me. Exercise tends to make me breathe faster, and sometimes that
will set off a panic attack. I try to avoid over-exertion of any
kind...ie...picking up heavy items, mopping the entire floor at one
time, or doing anything that increases my heart rate. Either this is
purely psychological on my part, or a physical cause. God forbid if I
shovel snow. I feel like I am having a heart attack only after a few
shovelfuls. I don't have heart problems, and I have good blood
pressure, and I am of normal weight, but I have a funny feeling that we
all have a secret problem with our hearts, which causes our GAD and
panic attacks. When I die, I want an autopsy of my heart. I'm sure
they will find something. Do any of you out there feel the same as I
do? Do you get scared when you breathe faster and your heart is racing
due to exercise? It all started at the age of 26. Before that, I used
to be a normal kid doing everything from swimming to running etc. One
other thing I notice. If I eat a meal, I am more prone to a panic
attack if I go out and take a walk. I do better with an empty stomach
if I go out and take a nice walk. Strange , isn't it?

When my GAD started I had been exercising for about a year and eating better
(lost 25lbs.) but I don't think the exercise caused it. I just think it
doesn't make any difference at all to mental illnesses. There are plenty of
reasons to eat right and exercise but I don't think helping (or hurting)
anxiety disorders is one of them. BTW, I'm currently in one of my "no
exercise" periods but I would like to get back into it at some point.

i have to walk every day for my very degenerated spine, and now...a
catastrophe in our family that is sucking the life out of me. i have
to say, it helps me mentally when i've had my walk.

Totally the same as you MG.
It *is* strange.
I was going and doing and biking, etc, until say, 24, then a racing
heart due to exercise or even just excitement would trigger PA.
If I am on top of things, while exercising or doing chores and I tell
myself that my heart rate is going up because of the things I am
doing, then I can usually talk myself out of the attack. But when I
don't constantly take notice and drill into my head that it is normal,
forget it, I am panicking.

Sucks.

Count me in as another one... and I very much find that a full stomach makes
a big difference. I have been experimenting with using Pepcid before I eat
and it seems to help quite a bit. I can, generally, use an exercise bike at
home and not have an attack but other strenuous activities do tend to bring
them on (though less now than it used to be for me).
