After a panic or anxiety attack I feel very anxious with a trembling feeling and heart palpitations. It can last a couple of hours. It kinda makes me feel like i am gonna freak out. I had blood test done for all this anxiety stuff and everything came back ok. I still feel like there is something wrong and the heart palpitations scare me. Can anyone relate????

Rosaslie1, I totally relate. I feel feeble, exhausted, shaky, dizzy, all sorts of that kind of stuff after a panic attack. Remember, this is a fight or flight response gone wrong, this is how you or I would feel after almost getting hit by a bus, finding a tarantula on our arm and flinging it off, or other fight or flight situation we narrowly escaped. We just never had a real situation set it off. Sometimes it takes me a whole day to completely recover. thats okay. as you go through this keep telling yourself it will pass, you are just recovering from all the panic chemicals your body dumped into you to galvanize you to action. After a panic attack learn to slow down your body and mind, relax, and focus on positive thoughts. Keep reading and posting.
