Good afternoon all,
Just thought id share some information I have found. Suffering from social anxiety/chronic hyperventilation syndrome I have realised and kept a diary of when I feel 'good' and 'bad'.
The days I have felt the most confident and able to interact in social situations are the days I have pushed myself the most to get out, I realise the psychological effects are producing the positive effects but wanted to know if something else was causing this.
On researching the effects of exercise (I would post the link but I'm not allowed to yet..), I found the carbon dioxide in the blood increases as we exercise. Chronic hyperventilation causes excess oxygen in the blood, thus the symptoms of anxiety, ocd and light headedness.
Now I know the theory, I better practise what I preach... :winks:
Hope everyone is good
