Is this feeling kinda numb? You could unknowingly be hyperventillating. You don't know how many times I've done that!!!! With so many things going through your head, it will be hard to concentrate on your breathing, but try that. Of course you should probably talk to your doc just in case.

Hello does your face turn red? I have felt burning hot skin in my cheeks and all over my face when I used to blush during panick attacks. Sometimes I would even feel dizzy with it.

It is very common in people who have panic disorder to hyperventilate which would in turn cause the tingling in your lips etc. Has it completely disappeared now with the klonopin? If not you should mention it to your Dr, but panic disorder creates many many symptoms

The symptoms you mention could also be caused by TMJ. A lot of us with anxiety & panic & stress, tend to grit our teeth without even realizing it. I have TMJ & that is one of the symptoms I first notice. I have a facial pain & a tingling & numbness to my lip only on the right side where my TMJ is the worse. The Klonopin has probably relaxed you to where you are not doing it anymore. That could be a possibility.
