Exercise

[cat eyes]

I was on the bike and my heart rate went up to 160 I felt shaky and my head had a throbbing heart beat feeling. Why?

Do you feel fear when you were doing exercise?

I can totally understand this post. I fear exercising and getting my pulse too high. But as we all know, your pulse rate suppose to go up with exercise. If it don't then you have a problem. Also I have had my pulse that high by just panic attacks and no exercise. So it's not that bad. Feels like it but it can easily hit 200 and not have an issue. I'm trying to cope with my pulse anxiety and realize out hearts are not as fragile as we pretend they are. They are most amazingly strong. Now if I could only get myself to believe this.

I quit the gym because I was scared of having a panic attack due to my heart rate increasing. My heart races when I get panicky, I measured it at 170 once!
Gonna give the gym another go this week tho.
