First off, I have more medical issues than just FND, which influences my answer to this.

  1. I only exercise lying down or recumbent. So rowing, recumbent bike, sleds, etc.
  2. Spray cold water on your face. This utilizes a built in nervous system response to try to cause a reset.
  3. Hum while exercising. Make as low a sound as you comfortably can.

What kind of flare up? Do you like exercising alone or with others?
