Ms T Bones, thanks for this post on fainting! This has been my number one problem for many years now since I've fainted from anxiety numerous times (too many to count). I feel like an oddball anxiety sufferer and a little alone in this struggle since most people cannot faint during a panic attack. I...

Hello, I'm currently having a bad bout with my anxiety with my main symptoms being nausea, spaciness and panicky head feelings. I'm currently taking a small dose of Lexapro but it hasn't helped me that much. My doctor (GP) wants to put me on Paxil for the panic but I'm very worried about it since I ...

Hi everyone, I'm currently suffering through a bad bout with my anxiety issues. I've been having major brain fog, memory and concentration problems (along with countless other anxiety symptoms). I've been struggling with work since my job involves a lot of thinking and I feel like I'm barely getting...

Yes, I would definitely say it's anxiety related. For me a really bad heart flutter is what gave me my first panic attack about 8 years ago. Since then I've had many heart tests and they all came back fine (except for a normal minor valve problem) and have suffered with anxiety and panic attacks eve...

TNL, I can really sympathize with you since I too struggle with being a 'good mom' while we're busy feeling so anxious and nauseous. I have 2 small children which I adore completely but I'm worried that my anxiety problems are getting in the way of really enjoying the fact that they're so little and...

Yes this has been one of my biggest symptoms too (along with extreme lightheadedness). It's a real pain since it's very hard to concentrate on positive thoughts when you feel so ill like the slightest thing will make you sick to your stomach. I'm still struggling with this on a daily basis. Mine is ...

Does anyone else have the problem of fainting (or almost fainting) while they're feeling very anxious or worried? I've tried various drugs but none seem to work for very long at stopping this. The second week of the program says to not worry since you won't pass out and embarass yourself but for me ...

Hi Jenn F Yes you're right, it's very hard to keep your chin up and not let all of this wear you down (not to mention the damage it does to your self confidence) but when you have kids you have to try that much harder. Unfortunately when I feel like I'm going to faint (due to the vasovagal response)...

Hello, I'm wondering if there's anyone out there that has the same crazy problems that I do. I currently have daily diarrhea along with nausea and occasional fainting. Most of the books and websites all claim that you can't faint from a panic attack but because of my low blood pressure I actually do...
