Anxiety for me = tight chest & shortness of breath

My anxiety manifests itself through chest tightness, shortness of breath and slight dizziness. When I’m having a lighter moment, when my anxiety isn’t heightened and don’t have strong symptoms, I do some light cardio on my bike outdoors. Why after I’ve finished riding my bike at a leisurely pace, do I then have a tight chest and shortness of breath? I thought exercise is supposed to help relieve symptoms?
