The last couple panic attacks I have had have ended in me dry heaving. This is only when the attack is literally shaking me to the core. The vomiting has only started within the last 6 months... but I've been noticing its always anxiety related...

my big question is... is there any way to control this? Does this happen to other people??? I literally feel wiped out after these attacks. Its a big cycle, I am afraid of throwing up in front of people, which in itself creates anxiety!

bah!
 
I have found myself in similar situations in the past. I would end up throwing up for hours on end, and would feel entirely wiped out (and with no appetite) the next few days. For me, I have found it helpful to just be around people who love and care about me--and to just talk with them. My anxiety & nausea seems to go away faster if I am distracted by talking with someone and less focused on not 'if', but 'when' I will be rushing to the bathroom again :/ . (I could not help but think that way, which would perpetuate the problem).
 
Its just insane, how anxiety can manifest itself to make you literally SICK! amazing.

Most of the times of the attacks have been driving related. I get to the destination, then start throwing up. Always after a stressful drive or thought process during the drive.
