Hi,
Yes, it’s normal. Panic attacks, sudden intense fear with physical symptoms), drain energy, leaving exhaustion. Living with anal fissure pain adds stress, making panic harder. Be gentle with yourself. your body is carrying double weight. Rest, hydrate, soothe.
Here’s how I’d guide you as your therapist, step by step
1. Stabilise first : learn quick calming tools (breathing, grounding, relaxation).
2. Psychoeducation: Understand Panic, Knowing it’s not dangerous reduces fear of fear.
3. Body–mind link – chronic pain (anal fissure) raises baseline stress, so we integrate pain management + emotional care.
4. Track triggers : keep a panic diary: when, where, thoughts, sensations.
5. CBT work – gently challenge catastrophic thoughts, build coping statements.
Next Steps
Consult a psychologist and start therapy.
Health Tips
Name it, don’t fight it: when panic rises, say to yourself, “this is a panic surge, it will peak then pass”. Naming reduces fear.
Breathe low + slow: hand on belly, inhale 4, hold 2, exhale 6. Slows the nervous system.
Grounding 5–4–3–2–1: notice 5 things you see, 4 touch, 3 hear, 2 smell, 1 taste. Brings mind back to present.
Pain + panic overlap: remind yourself discomfort isn’t danger. Reframe the thought “I can’t handle this” into “this will ease, I’ve handled before.”
Gentle routine: consistent sleep/wake times, short walks, light stretching if tolerated. Predictability soothes anxiety.

Hey
Yes, it’s completely normal. Panic attacks put your body into “fight–flight” mode heart racing, muscles tightening, rapid breathing and that consumes a lot of physical energy. After the attack passes, people often feel drained, shaky, or even like they’ve run a marathon. Having an anal fissure already adds to the stress and pain, so your system is carrying both physical and emotional load at once. Feeling exhausted is your body’s way of saying it’s been through a lot.
The important part now is recovery. Gentle breathing, hydration, lying down in a comfortable position, and small calming activities (like listening to soft music or applying warmth) can help your body reset. Over time, therapy can teach you techniques to prevent panic from escalating so it doesn’t leave you so worn out. And managing your fissure pain will also lower the stress that fuels panic.
Take therapy. You can connect with me on nine two six six seven two six zero six five.

Hii..
Panic attacks make a person feel exhausted and it's normal when you have the stress which you are already facing.. it generally lasts for a few minutes..
If your daily activities are hampering due to panic attacks then there is a need for intervention..
Consult online for further assessment and treatment
