Hi Bam,

Not to worry this is completely normal. My therapist actually suggested heavy exercise because they can make you feel like you are having a panic attack. It is a sort of exposure that will make you see that these feelings are perfectly fine and that nothing bad will happen to you for having them. It did wonders for me I hope this positive spin will help you to.
