Does anyone feels sleepy after an anxiety attack?

Hello :-)

When we have anxiety or a panic attack we use adrenaline , the body only has as much as a teaspoon at any one time and when we have a panic attack we use most of it up and the body has to work really hard to produce some more and this is one reason why we feel so tired after either going through a really bad episode of anxiety or a panic attack

Take Care x

Perfectly normal, it’s your bodies way of recovering & like Lulu said, kinda refilling your adrenaline.
