Yes, with exercise it bothers me that it can simulate some of the anxiety symptoms. I also worry about the aches & pains the following days.

I used to never worry about before all this happened.


Do you sometimes think you a weak person and not as tough as "normal" people? It makes me feel a bit worthless to be honest and not much of a man.


Its just the fear of bringing it on or making things worse but also that even if I do it, I still wont change.


Its really a matter of exposing yourself to it until you can tolerate it more, or so I was told in CBT but its easier said than done.

hi i get a tight chest and fast heart but becouse i am going through a bad time i cant go to the docs so ive just had a telephone consaltation. i know she cant say my heart ect is fine but she did say that its classic symptoms of anxiety when i get my act together i will go see the nurse to have it checked though. i dash about and dont get so breathless but i still worry i cant relax so makes things worse.
