Does anyone have a fear of fainting?!
Question: Everytime im around alot of people, On show (like in an interview) Stuck somewhere like the dentist or doctors. I feel as if im gonna faint (dizziness, tunnel vision etc) I try to keep calm and think its just a panic attack but I feel shaky and have to get out.Im scared of fainting where ever I am.

I feel like this all the time it is your body reacting to you high anxiety with the fight or flight symptom. I have not yet thought of a way to ignore or deal with the problem all I know however which does bring me comfort that I am not going to pass out I have had these feeling before with no issues and the people that either I am around or conversation with has no clue of the feelings I am having. I wish I could give you a better answer than that but you need to focus and think in your head ok this is just my mind playing tricks on me backup what am I worried about Passing out (that is not going to happen), Dieing (That is not going to happen), No reason to be scared. I feel for you and I wish I could say more but since I have not been able to really control it I can not tell you how but I can give you confort by saying it will pass and you are able to control it do not let your mind control you
yes its called social anxiety talk to your doctor about some anti anxiety medicine
I don't but my mother had that fear and she had anxiety over it. She had to go on anxiety medications.
I used to get that.. dizziness and tunnel vision. I only really remember getting that at school though. I try to drink water- that really helps. I usually touch my face, i don't know why, but it reminds me that I'm still awake and I didn't hit the floor yet. I didn't get it because of nervousness though. I had seizures when I was a kid, so maybe it has to do with that.
No i dont have it.....touch wood =P
but it seemz like a serious problem dudette....you better consult a good doctor ASAP!!!
I suffer from low blood pressure and mild anemia and i have fainted 4 times in a public area. It mostly happens when i am standing still for a long time. I presume all the blood rushes to the lower part of the body due to gravity. Whenever i feel like this i try to walk around and pace to get the blood pressure higher. I'm scared too, its happened so many times before and i fear how people may start thinking what a fragile being i am. But im not really im normal and even take part in sports etc.
Your dizziness may also be linked to dehydration or it may even be diabetes (which i highly doubt). Get it checked out by a doctor soon.
