Does Panic Attacks Cause Weakness And Tiredness?

I ve been suffering from panic attacks lately (started in march) I think it s due to study stress. today, however, I started feeling really weird in my chest and a little dizzy, so I decided to walk home because people told me fresh air is good for you. it didn t help, I felt like I was on the verge of fainting. It s not a panic attack, but I still feel weak, tired and weird in the chest. what even?

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. You felt like fainting during your walk. That could mean so many problems. Please do not self diagnose. If you are sure that these are caused by stress and anxiety, then fine. Other wise, if you are not sure, please consult a physician and let him diagnose.

Fresh air is always good for health and it shall calm you. But it happens only when you are not anxious. If you are anxious about going out itself, then such a step shall trigger panic attacks. I am not interested in guiding you. Please consult a physician soon.

If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe some psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition further.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
