Anxiety attack early post-op

I have never suffered from anxiety attacks ever before, but I think I had my first one (and hopefully last one) last night. I am 8 days postop Lap RNY. It lasted about 2 hours, and was horrible - flushed hot, unmitigated fear, jitteryness. Is there a vitamin deficiency or hormonal deficiency that could cause this? Or something else that I can do to prevent this from happening again? Thanks for all your kind words and advice. Lynn
