Has anxiety ever caused you to faint or pass out?

I seem to experience the following when I get worked up about something:

I get VERY hot.

I start to have tunnel vision.

Then the lights go out and I wake up on the floor.

Does this happen to anyone else and if not, what are your symptoms of a panic attack?

 

Thank you :)

    Hi, I am new to this group... my name is Morgan, I am 31 years old, lesbian, have a 13 year old son. I have Celiac, as well as depression and anxiety.

    When I have a panic attack, I get shaky, I feel like their is a heavy weight on my chest, I get a very scared feeling deep inside (kinda like the world is going to end feeling). When I start getting like this I cry uncontrollably, I don't talk to ANYONE, unless I have to. I will also kinda sit on the floor and rock myself to try to comfort myself.

    I only get panic attacks from nausea but nausea is caused by a gluten attack - cross contamination...

    1.  Temperature gets really really high (face turns red, ears get hot)

    2.  Run to the bathroom (with tunnelvision) because if I don't get cold water on my skin (back of my neck), I usually hyperventilate.

    3.  Haven't blacked out completely but I do have to sit down and in the event that I ever am trapped somewhere who knows what would happen.  Always have an escape.
