Fatigue

[Sophia__Colley]

Hey. Does anyone know what helps with fatigue after a panic attack? I hate this feeling. I do sports and it really doesn't help at all. I can't work out due to fatigue. Muscles feel weak and shaky right after a panic attack. Should I just wait for it subside or do something about it?

One of the best ways to handle a panic attack is to surrender to the anxious feelings and let them flow through your body and dissolve. It is excess adrenalin and just needs to dissipate in your system. Anxiety is a paradox and the more you fight or struggle with it the more it persists which is why you want to surrender to it, try not to fear it and let it happen. it won't last long and it will minimize your fatigue. Another way to handle the fatigue is to go exercise and work off the excess adrenalin which will make you tired but it will be a good tired.

Yea,I feel like,when I have fatigue ,it kinda makes me anxious again bcuz I think something is wrong with me,but it's actually due to anxiety

One of the most helpful things you can do is take the negative thoughts and rationalize them with yourself so you can realize how false they are and that you don't have to believe them. The anxious thoughts are lies.

Maybe have a chat with your Dr. Propananol is something that helps stop the panic attacks. Get advice first obviously.

I've talked to my doc and I used to take anti anxiety meds,but they didn't help. I would take 3 pills a day and would still get intense panic attacks and anxiety attacks that would last for days. Thanks for your response

Nobodys looking that hard, they have thiwr own stuff swirling around thier heads. Everyone has nervy problems , its just some hde it better than others.

Propananol isnt an anti depressant, it just keeps your heart steady

Oh alright, I didn't know that. Gotta talk to my doc tho,I have heart arrhythmia, gotta make sure that it wouldn't cause any problems

just be easy on yourself and rest. Focus on YOU.

I don’t know what you’re anxious about but I find that just being thankful for my life and thinking about the positives help. Listening to positive messages and being around positive people also helps. Just get rid of all the negative and think of only positives. You’ll be alright!
