But I DO faint during pannic attacks!!!

Mcgif, The information on our site states it is very difficult to faint during a panic attack. Here's why: When our anxiety levels rise, so do our blood pressure & heartrate. In general, most fainting is caused by a sudden drop in blood pressure. The very opposite of what happens when our anxiety levels rise. We recommend you speak to your doctor about your fainting. It may be due to severe hyperventilation or other medical cause. Only he/she can rule out other causes. In the meantime, start practicing deep breathing. It may help. Hope this helps.

Can anyone help me with this one... The information on this site strongly says you cant faint during a pannic attack even though you may think you will. However I have been suffering attacks now for several years and almost always end up fainting. I get all the usual symptoms first such as sweaty palms, ringing in the ear, racing heart, dizzyness, cold face, then I faint. I hope someone out there can throw a little light on this. I've got absolutely nowhere with GPs so am now looking round for solutions. Hence my visit to this site.
