Hi,
As you say that you had anxiety and panic attack. Such conditions can cause dehydration, dryness in lips and tongue. Moreover, blood circulation to periphery like skin decreases which causes paleness. There is nothing to worry.
You relax and avoid such situations which can precipitate it. Engage with family, friends, visit some scenery and a public spot for fun.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
