Couple times in my life I had such a huge stress that I literally get sick after it. First time it was a driving lesson and I was so afraid that I lost control over my emotions, so many cars around, so many things going on, I felt frightened and thought I will never be able to drive. When I got out from my car I was drenched with sweat and next couple days practically spent in bed. Every time I tried to get up I felt dizziness and had to come back to bed.
Second time it happened after job interview, I was so obviously shaking and then got sick again. Of cause I didn't get a job.
But the point is that after those two incidents I noticed my concentration felt drastically, is it possible that part of my brain functioning less efficiently AFTER it? And what I can do to fix it, if possible?

YEs of course! Stress causes all types of illness, poor concentration, anger...its even at the root of things like cancer. You just have to break off from these stressful thoughts. DO not visualize something terrible happening, envision a situation EXACTLY the way you would like for it to go and really enjoy this and go into the situation saying Im going to make the best of this and things are going to go my way. This can be very powerful.

once you have had a panic attack the damage is done, you can't do a thing AFTER the fact. What you need to do is learn how to control your panic disorder so it doesn't happen in the first place. Start with a visit to a psychiatrist.

The mind is the second thing to go. I dont remember what is the first! Depression plays tricks with your mind. See a doctor and see if your are on the right medication for depression or if there is some side effects.

you've been having panic attacks. and yeah it'll definitely affect your concentration.
you're body went through what is basically an adrenaline attack, so you were all action and no thought
