      I always get super tired afterwards. It takes everything out of me.

      Yes I used to throw up and pass out from hyperventilating. Ik it's easier said than done but training to control your breathing can really help. I did running lessons to control my heartbeat amd eventually go tin under control but hyperventilating made my panic attacks so much worse than they had to be.

      It's bc of the adrenaline, your brain releases the fight or flight chemicals and your body reacts. But once the adrenaline wears off, it feels like your energy was sapped, that's bc it essentially was. Allow yourself time to reenergize, maybe even take a nap, I know naps help me get back to normal. I hope this helped!

      It happens to me almost everytime and it makes me feel so exhausted it's hard to move and sometimes I just pass out in the middle of it because I'm so tired from it
