I always worry that I've worked myself into such a panic my heart won't recover from it

Yup that sounds about right. I feel all that plus more after an attack. You gotta imagine what your body just went through and the amount of adrenaline that was going through your system. Some describe panic attacks as the scariest moment of their lives, so your body isn't just gonna drop back down to normal mode after it happens, and for some, it can take hours to feel normal again. I had a panic attack that lasted the entire night. It was horrid. Usually, I end up crying after it's over just because it's so awful to endure! Haven't had one in a while though, but the memories are still clear as day.

Hi...

Glad your ok now.

After I've had a panic attack I get really really tired, headaches and a general feeling of being unwell if that makes sense
When I last had an attack about a week ago it was around 2pm and when it subsided i had to walk to get my son from school...I felt hungover it was horrible. When ,y husband got home I had a nap...

I feel shaky, cold, tired, weak, upset, sick to my stomach. Your body has just had a huge hormonal rush so it's normal to feel like your body has crashed afterwards.

I usually feel exterme anxiety for ages after a full blown panic. It also makes me upset and rather angry with myself. Physically, I feel like I've been beaten to a pulp and completley drained and exhausted. But mostly really emotional that I allowed it to beat me yet again. Kitti :mad:
