I am thinking about getting Valium or Xanax to treat my anxiety. My anxiety is has been getting worse and now and everytime I run on the treadmill, my heart beats fast and I panic. I hate this. I want to take something for this. Any answers?
Answer:
It seems to me you would want to find out why you are getting panicky from your heart beating fast while running (on a treadmill). It is normal for your heart to beat fast when you exercise. What are you fearing? I suggest you see your doctor and find out if there is anything real to fear with exercise. He/she also can recommend and prescribe a pill for anxiety. Counseling may be indicated.
Good luck, good health, peace and love!
