I noticed this once when I went to an aerobics class. I think the trick is to do something regularly, like every day, and to make it not too intense, ie its just relatively gentle (but still gets the heartrate going). And I think doing it with someone else would help take your mind of it.
I cycle everywhere now and that doesn't cause panic, in fact it makes me feel a whole lot better. But I do it everyday for at least half an hour - I think if I were to suddenly start doing it, it'd cause panic.
Yeah the doing it every day I think is the key. And making it relatively gentle at first.
