Fainting and Anxiety

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.  It is embarrassing, which is why I worry about it, which is why I faint.

I have heard my whole life that people don't actually faint from panic attacks, but rather they just FEEL like they are going to.  But I DO!  I have probably fainted over 200 times.  I have actually been to hospitals as a teenager where I received numerous CT Scans and EKGs.

Any insight as to some sort of diagnoses would be tremendous!

Thanks!
