Anyone feel scare to going to the gym and s decide

[[Tr...]]

I feel scared going to the gym or so any kind of exercise because when I'm on treadmill if i go fast i would feel chest pain and dizziness and feelings of scare. I'm at the gym now on a treadmill very slowl . My goal is 15 minutes on treadmill and speed only 1.5-2.0. I I'll try to do elliptical 15 minutes too.bi fear I will pass out. Am I having health anxiety and exercise intolerance ?

Wow . I can only exercise on a treadmill for 10 minutes and speed rate at 1.2 abd I stated to feel so dizzy and intense heart pain . I had to stop . Anyone experience this ? I probably walk outside ..,right now is so cold though.

Make sure you eat something before you go to the gym and carry a bottle of water with you. Stay hydrated.  Take it slow and easy.  If you need to take a rest, take a rest and do your exercise in little chunks.  If there is a recumbant bike at your gym, try that, you'll be seated and secure.

I had major exercise intolerance to the point I couldn't even vacuum or simple chores. It caused anxiety to think about exercising. I just had to start slow. Like five minutes on an exercise bike... that slow.

I had to start at 1.2 for 5 min. Then the next day 6 then 7.... slow. I ended up getting to 2.5 and an hour. But now been in a wave for 4.5 weeks and couldn't even walk for 2 days at all so everyone's body is different I guess. Take it slow and be kind to yourself.

Wow! I thought it's just me. I'm so glad I am not alone (NOT that I want anyone to suffer). But it's relief to know I'm not the only one going through this.  I guess I am going to start meditate daily for now and maybe walks outside when I can and then go to the gym when I feel better. Thinking of going to the gym or on a treadmill giving me anxiety. I told my fiance what happened. He said 'because your body hasn't exercised thats why you feel like that". I explained to him thats not what happened, I am going through the withdrawal and having exercise intolerance and he just thinks I am talking nonsense. It sounded to me that what I was saying doesn't make sense to him. He talked in a nice way though, its just hard to explain to him because he said how can someone feel dizzy too much and anxiety while just 'walking on a treadmill' that slow rate.

I went through this all and your symptoms are like mine were.  I just say go slow.  I am in such a bad wave right now. I haven't been able to do anything or walk.  I am so out of it.  It feels like this will never end.  No one I talk to can understand either because they are not going through this hell.  It is so weird.  I was driving local, eating super clean, semi functional and now, for 4.5 weeks, I am housebound and struggling worse than I did in acute in many ways.  I hope this is the final wave before healing.  I am 15 months off in 3 days.  Sorry to complain.  I just know that you will get through and you will heal. Some of us have a long go at it I guess.  Be kind to yourself. I pushed myself so often through this process and after this wave I am in, I am simply bowing to the process.  I can't push through anymore.  I like your idea of meditation and walking outside.  I used to set small goals to do that too.  I would walk to the mailbox. Then the stop sign. then the next....and eventually 2-3 miles a day. You can do it!
