feeling unwell for a few days after a panic

[maya]

I have noticed that after a panic attack I feel really unwell for about 3 full days; really weak, dizzy, sick to my stomach etc. and the last time almost went to the doctor but after finally getting some sleep it passed after a few days.

Is it normal to feel this way after an attack? Is it because the attack takes so much energy and because of the adrenaline etc.?

Hi Maya
Speaking for myself im the same, i tend to suffer with anxiety more which some days by the evening i feel really drained, but now and again it turns into panic and really knocks the stuffing out off me, just crawl into bed and for days will sleep when ever i can, once i had one in the evening and slept all night got up in morning got kids to school, came home sat down to have cup of tea which was about 9.30 next thing woke up with a start, phone going it was my husband, and it was 3o'clock afternoon, could not believe it, then made rush to get to school, was back in bed by 8 o'clock and slept till next morning. ok after that, it is energy and adrenaline that dos it, so if you are able to rest and sleep do it.

I actually had a bad bad panic attack that woke me in the middle of the night last night and since I can't take my xaxax because i'm pregnant, it was very very hard to get it to go away... but now all day today I have been feeling all around yucky... it could be the morning sickness, but it's more than that it seems like... I didn't even want to get out of bed this morning, I was just so nervous when I woke up... I hate feeling like that!

Me!

Not all the time. But if I have a really bad one I do feel weak, tired, shaky and off for a few days.

Not fun.
