When I Exercise I Can't Get My Heart Rate Down For 4-5 Hours Posted: 12-20-05 00:20am
I have had pretty bad anxiety for just
over 3 years now and I understand a lot
that is going on now. It's took me
quite a bit to get to this point. The
thing I don't understand is that lately I
have tried to work out a bit nothing too
much of course and when I do I can't seen
to get my heart rate back down I am
talking 100+ beats a minute. It makes
it almost impossible to work out. I
used to run track and play football now
that was about 6 years ago but I would
like to think I am not in bad shape.
Anyone else have this problem when they
work out or do something physical? I
mean I understand when you get winded your
heart rate goes up but that lasts maybe
for 15 minutes or so not 5 hours. I
feel like I am having a 5 hour panic
attack afterwards.

Ever since I started having anxiety, my
workouts haven't been the same either.
It's not that it takes long for my heart
rate to drop back down. My problem is
that my heart seems to pound harder and
faster than usual. Also, I get really
dizzy half way through my workout. It
has ruined my work out. I've had test
down, and my heart's fine, so I guess it's
just the anxiety. It's very frustrating
because fitness is a big part of my life,
and I feel it's being taken away from me.

Same here, I use to run track, but now
when I run, it takes forever for my heart
to slow down and stop pounding, and I feel
dizzy and sick like i'm going to pass out
the whole time, so you're not alone my
friend.
