What Causes Palpitations And Sleeplessness While Doing Exercise/yoga For Anxiety/depression?

I have been suffering from anxiety depression for the past 5 years. I used to do regular exercises and yoga. Now, everytime I attempt to do either causes palpitations and sleeplessness. Even an evening bath keeps me awake. I don't understand why this happens. I would like to know if I can get back to my normal life after treatment. Please help me out on this. SA

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. Definitely you can get back to normal condition But you should understand your anxiety well. Anxiety is fearing something which actually is not there. You are worrying that something may happen to you while exercising / yoga, or at least, you become apprehensive about those. Such apprehension makes you anxious while doing those. You need to learn relaxation exercises such as deep breathing and meditations such as mind-fullness. Consult a psychotherapist.

If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe the needed psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition further.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
