Common Questions and Answers about Anxiety fainting
anxiety
It could be though because anxiety comes with a very long list of symptoms. I do think fainting would be a rare one though. You've tried antidepressants and there was no change. It really does make me wonder if this is anxiety because if it were the AD's should have helped.
Have you had your blood sugar tested? If it gets to high or to low you can faint.

t want to alarm you however, I recently went through a long 2 months of thinking i had a heart problem when it was just anxiety. I had a really fast heart rate due to anxiety. How low is your pulse? Mine gets as low as 53 BPM without feeling dizzy or weird, which is common in young, active, healthy people.
I have had this anxiety since I was a teenager. It first happened when we were at church, but it now happens regularly when I am confronted with certain situations. In short, I faint. I don't know why, but usually it is when I am in an uncomfotable situation (i.e. Weddings, Formal events with a lot of people, etc.)... The weird thing is, it has morphed from 'fainting in church' to 'fainting from worrying about fainting!'... Which is why it happens at large formal events.

I am 18 years old, and i keep fainting. I first fainted in the shower after not having anything to eat or drink all day, which i know is my fault. However, i have continued to faint every day since which has been about 10 days in a row. I had paramedics called out to me and had tests done like blood, egg and blood pressure. My blood was fine, i have a very fast blood rate and low blood pressure.
I have noticed it comes when I have high anxiety or stress. I usually get the worst anxiety around the time just before I start my menstrural cycle, I can confirm that this was the case it happend with the second one.
I have told my Dr about this and she just brushed it off. I have recently been experiencing a lot of stress and my toes have been very cold and tingling but only in my toes, my feet are warm and I have full feeling.
Some people hyperventilate to the point of fainting when they have an anxiety attack. My sister hyperventilated. I don't, so we do differ. It's possible the initial anxiety attack was related to fear because of the heart problem, but we can't know that really. CBT might be very helpful to you given it's mostly this one experience that triggers them. Might make it easier for that type of therapy to work.
Do people ever faint as a result of anxiety or stress? I have been told that people having an anxiety attack never faint but may feel like they will.
I started fainting when I was 5 (30 now), due to anxiety... I have fainted at least 60 times in my life since, it's so frustrating. The first time I passed-out was when the monkeys came and took Dorothy and Toto in the Wizard of Oz, crazy I know ~ since then it's ranged from fear of needles, watching other people get injured, getting my ears pierced, seeing a bear rug as a child, the list goes on and on.
You should tell her to go to her doctor and discuss her symptoms, and he should refer her to a neurologist who can do a full workup on her and he can give her medcines to control the fainting and muscle spasming. This is not something to fool around with, and since it's so easy to control, there's no reason why she shouldn't go to the doc.
Iron deficiency can cause palpitatons, tachycardia, SOB, and dizziness. Did you see a doctor after you had the fainting episode? You should let your doctor know what's going on, even if you just leave word with his nurse by giving them a call. They may want to do a quick blood test or just try you on some vitamins....your symptoms are also signs of anxiety, so letting your doctor know everything that's going on is the best place to start. Best to you!
I was recently put on cipralex for panic attacks and anxiety. However the first day of my period I fainted and have continued to feel very dizzy. When feeling hot the dizziness tends to get worse. My periods are usually quite heavy, however I have never fainted before. My blood pressure is usually normal to low. My doctor said it could be a combination of the medication and heavy periods.
Hi. Thanks for the comment. I fainted about 4 times since my 2nd grade and that was brought about by other reasons like hot weather and being anemic. But that was before and I was completely healthy before this diagnosis. I always had a yearly check-up then. My last fainting was Dec 2007 when I had cramps when I was asleep. My first symptom for mvp is being lightheaded and the feeling that I will faint anytime. My doctor said that it was because of my mvp and also anxiety.
It could be postprandial hypotension, a drop in blood pressure that occurs after eating which can result in presyncope (dizziness, lightheadedness, weakness, almost fainting) or syncope (fainting) in some patients. A holter monitor does not measure blood pressure, so it would not rule out postprandial hypotension as a cause for syncope.
what may be the reason for sudden sweating,head ache,stomach pain,fainting,,breathlessness ?
I also have anxiety problems and adult add. I am on lexapro and take adderrall during the school year. I went to the ER again a few days later because I was feeling the same signs of when I fainted, like uncomfortable tingling in my arms and chest area, as well as kind of dizzy, and very panic-like. It turns out, it had nothing to with my heart or blood pressure, I was just really wound up and it really effected me, but I felt like something was physically and medically wrong.
Sounds to me like a variety of situational anxiety / depression symptoms. Could be a stressful college life, so maybe better pacing and seeking out relaxing / non-stimulating breaks from your routines would help.
Do you do much physical working out? Bicycling, jogging, brisk walking etc.? Those could be helpful. What is your usual blood pressure reading? Have you had a 'physical' (full checkup) at a doctor's?
I am a 19 years old female and I have migraines with aura, and I've had them since I was 14 years old. Recently I've started having fainting spells with black outs, loss of hearing, shortness of breath, tunnel vision and severe SEVERE dizziness. The first time i fainted, i couldn't hear anything and my vision got blurry, hit my head hard on the desk as I fell while getting out of bed to get some water. Two days later, I had a migraine episode, the worst ever.
