Thanks for using healthcare magic. I, Dr Abhishek Kapoor, would help you in this query.

These exercises are different from routine exercise. In relaxation exercise like Jacobson's Progressive Muscle Relaxation (JPMR) and deep breathing exercise, a psychologist would teach you how to control underline anxiety in tense situations. These exercise would work in natural way and keep you relax. In between, you can take benzodiazepine on sos basis, but these exercises usually take time to show response. In that case, you have to be patient. Better to consult a psychologist for these technique.
