There is a lot of suggestion on good old google that engaging in some light-moderate exercise helps with anxiety and in particular the dizziness and stress levels.
I was feeling really on edge this evening and like if I didn't do something, I would find myself having a full blown panic meltdown and dizzy spell.
So I got on my exercise bike and really put some effort into working up a bit of a sweat for 15-20 minutes followed by a slower pace for another 15 minutes or so.
Results...
I feel 10 times better. I don't know whether it was having something to focus on, getting some oxygen in my system or pure chance, but it did the trick. I also felt better about myself for having some movement whilst watching the soaps! Beats my usual state of curled on the sofa with a blanket :emot-giggle:
Oh and P.s...
When I was feeling on edge and getting a bit worked up by bp was 135/90.
After my exercise when I felt calmer and my heart rate was back down my bp was 110/70.
Who ever thought exercise was good for you :emot-giggle:
