History Of Anxiety. Exercising, Leg Pain, Stressed. Cause?

Hi I just came outta of gym from doing the Treadmill and Sauna ... I m a pretty big guy about 400 lbs I think not sure any more cause I ve been work out a lot! But anyways I came home wasn t feeling to good my blood Pressure was 126 88 104. About 2 years Ago I developed really bad Anxiety! But so far I ve had any and I ve been doing pretty good. Also I ve been pretty stress out about a few things in my life! And sometimes I feel like I don t have a clear mind! Oh plus at the when I m on the treadmill my legs have been killing me. And I ve going for a while now to the gym and I thought my legs would be use to it already! Could being stress out cause all of this?

Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hi there ~

I understand you are doing well with explaining your situation. I am sure you are stressed out. You should also have no problems with taking medications as your general medical condition is good. Your stress is high enough that it is affecting your functioning in your daily life. I will also suggest that you do more of cardio exercises. It is also advisable that you start using swimming as your cardio exercise method as you might be hurting your legs when you do any other kind of exercise with the kind of body weight that you possess. In you situation it would also not harm to lose some weight. I hope you consult a nutritionist as well. You might want to use some over the counter analgesics when you are making these lifestyle modifications. I hope you have the time to see a psychiatrist to relieve your anxiety as well. I hope this helped.

Take care and have a lovely day !
