Regular Aerobic Exercise
for Panic Attacks
Regular aerobic exercise reduces anxiety sensitivity — the fear of anxiety-related body sensations — which is the primary driver of panic disorder.
How it works
Exercise induces many of the physical sensations feared in panic (racing heart, breathlessness, sweating), providing repeated non-catastrophic exposure. Also reduces basal HPA axis reactivity.
What to watch for
Initially, exercise may trigger fear of physical sensations in panic disorder. Starting slowly and framing it as intentional exposure can help. Benefit builds over weeks of consistent practice.
