    Hi Scott,
    Actually exercise will help alleviate anxiety symptoms. You will definitely not have a heart attack!

    one thing you have to know as a fact...the arousal symptoms of anxiety/panic attack are not a heart attack...they never will be, no matter how much you dwell on it

    Just to clarify, I didn't mean that exercise will stop your panic completely. What I meant was that studies have shown that exercise releases chemicals in your brain which counteract panic/anxiety so exercise is in fact good for people who have issues with anxiety.
