I completely understand what you mean about how running actually makes anxiety worse. Many of the symptoms between panic attacks and exercise correlate (as you mentioned) like having an increased heart rate, increased adrenaline, faster respiratory rate, and sweating. It’s not easy to go on a run when it feels like your experiencing the effects of anxiety. Riding a bike and dance are definitely two of my favourites too 🙂 I also found this article to perfectly back-up your points too (https://www.fitnesssolutionsplus.ca/blog/exercise-induced-panic-attacks/). It further explains why exercising may actually be the cause of panic attacks.
