When you look up online, there are literally hundreds of side effects one may feel from panic attacks. I know it varies by person and I'm wondering what each of you go through.
I'll start:
- Heart racing/palpitations
- Dry mouth
- Nausea / upset stomach
- Face flushing / a feeling of blood rushing to my face
- The need to move about, whether or not that is making fists and pounding lightly on my thighs or just moving around my limbs a bit, as if trying to shake it off.
- Sometimes I have the urgent need to escape -- run outside for fresh air.
After an attack: I feel EXHAUSTED. Depending on how bad the attack is, I may have more later while I worry about it. That day and into the next I'm sometimes just missing any and all energy. Which makes me worry about whether or not I'm sick and may send me into another attack. I go through cycles...
Any one else feel the same, or are there other things you feel you go through? My husband's gma actually DOES v* sometimes from anxiety and I'm wondering, as emets we avoid that side effect or if any of you have it?
