There is: In individuals with an anxiety disorder, exercise may worsen it initially as it reproduces symptoms typical of a panic attack. It seems that only after sometime from exercise, 10-20 the relaxing effect kicks in. In time, if able to gradually increase exercise, the panic attack effects fade away.
