I have an intense fear about fainting--what could possibly be the cause?!
Question: Just thinking about, talking about, or seeing someone faint (in person, on TV, etc.) gives me a panic attack, and makes me fear that I too will faint. What might be the cause of this? At the age of 9, my father passed away of cancer, and I'm now 19-- could this be a possible reason?

You could have a fear of loss of control. It could be due to the loss of your father. Fortunate if you are not prone to fainting!
