After effects of attacks?

[Freaked]

Just had a really bad attack that lasted about an hour and had me lying on the carpet shaking. Now I feel almost too weak to move, shivering, and my limbs feel very heavy, like I can barely move them. Just want to sleep. What kind of after-effects does everyone else get?

Freaked,

Sounds just like the after effects of my attacks......... try to get some sleep you will feel better in the morning. It's scary isn't it?:weep:. You will be fine. You are exhausted from all the adrenaline that has been surging through your body and tensing up you muscles.

freaked, sounds just like mine too. Panic attacks exhaust me and i promptly fall asleep as soon as its finished. xx

I have got tired from the few I have experienced and I have had cold chills where my teeth chatter. U must be exhausted. Try and go to sleep.... Easier said than done but try and relax :)

how you feeling now freaked?? xx

Thanks for the replies everyone. The feeling eventually passed after some food and rest. I figure it's probably adrenaline depletion and exhaustion? Unfortunately I'm trying to hold back another attack now (getting that suffocating, gasping feeling). Every day atm :-(

keep doing breathing exercises as soon as you feel an attack coming on. Slow deep breaths in, hold it for 4 seconds and let it out again slowly.
