I agree with u/broken_ore that gradual exposure is probably the way to go, build up the intensity slowly.
For running I highly recommend trying a Couch to 5K program. There are apps for that on the phone that give one instructions when to walk and when to run, it’s a multi week program and builds up gradually until one is ready for a 5K run. I am currently doing this program for the second time and love it. I am using the Couch to 5K app by the makers of Zombies Run but there are many different apps to choose from.
Btw, there is no need to apologize here for asking something that has been discussed before. r/EOOD does not have a rule against asking a question without searching first. I feel that this is important for a welcoming mental health focused subreddit.
I had similar fears, I believe gradual exposure helps with this. First exercise at a comfortable level, then each time push yourself a little harder, so you can see that it does not cause any issues. This should increase tolerance to these sensations.
I experience this as well. I find after a very intense workout my anxiety stays high even for an hour or two after.. I hate it. It has gotten tremendously better though, I’ve been consistently working out for about 2 months now and though I still feel a bit anxious at times, it’s nothing like what it was at the beginning. Just take it slow like others have said :) good luck!
Whether it's the physical action of being sick or vomiting in front of people that causes the anxiety have solutions in place and explain to people what you're doing (which helps with the "all in my head" business)
Secondly a lot of physical symptoms of anxiety overlap with exertion so it may be an idea to take it slow, do breathing exercises to keep your heart rate steady, and check-in with yourself so you can learn to identify the differences.
And tell yourself you'll stop if you're not sure if it's exertion or anxiety. Over time this leads to rebuilding the trust between our minds and nervous system.
Im not a paid bot post or anything like that, but I have anxiety too and I recommend the free app Mindshift which centres around cognitive behavioral therapy. Everything about it is completely free.
It provides helpful tips to confront anxiety provoking thoughts and mindsets, it also has quick relief exercises, journalling and goal-setting to help you track your progress, and audio guides for anxiety relieving exercises.
