What Causes Panic Attacks After Doing Vigorous Exercise?
Hi, im "severly under-weight" due to having suffered from anorexia, in which I am trying to recover. I weigh 45kgs, at a height of 5'7". I am eating a well balanced diet now and do vigorous exercise for 30minutes every day. Recently I have been having somewhat of a panic attack after my gym session, I get shaky, dizzy, rapid heartbeat and sometimes even flashes in my sight. I drink on occasion, maybe once a week if that, where the day after I seem to get these similiar symptoms. What could be the cause of this "attack" and how do I reduce the symptoms when it happens?

HI
Well come to HIM
This is in fact other way round, because of the exercise you are not having panic attack but due to the anxiety and depression you might be doing vigorous exercise so this gives you such typical functional symptoms, you need to perform the exercise in complete relax state of mind, hope this helps
