Hi! I’m going on a lifestyle change. Aside from psychotherapy where I’m learning CBT, My OBGYN/Endocrinologist made me change my diet, and now I’m trying to adapt an exercise routine.

Thing is, I exercise with a Fitbit to help me monitor stuff. Whenever I feel my heart racing, I sometimes pause to take a look at my heart rate. I have been doing LesMills dance videos and 10 minutes in, my heart rate is at 158-161 bpm. 10 minutes after stopping, my heart rate is at 101-103 bpm.

I have been dealing with trauma from my mom’s death (heart failure. She had a massive heart attack in 2010) in 2016. I suffer from heart palpitations whenever I have panic attacks. I already had ECG, 2DEcho, 24-hour holster monitoring, thyroid, blood work and stuff from a cardiologist back in 2019 and everything came back normal. 

I would just like to know if anyone else here experiences this. Do you have any tips for me? I would really like to live a healthier life. I’m currently 32 years old, borderline obese, and healing my PCOS, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Clinical Depression, Panic attacks, and PTSD. Thank you!
