HELP

I suffer from anxiety but there are sometimes when I will get strange feelings....I have never passed out but it's almost like I am afraid I'm going to pass out.  I kinda get this weird feeling in the upper part of my stomach and it goes from there.  Do you think I could have like an anxiety about passing out??  I don't know why I am so afraid because I haven't ever passed out before.  Is there a way to know you are going to pass out?? .

I was told by a therapist that you will not pass out from a panic attack. :)

Mine usually happens in the am but sometimes it will happen of an evening.  It really ruins my whole day, I don't know why I'm so worries about my health because the only health issue I currently have is high blood pressure which I take low dose mess for.  I just pray that I will eventually get back to my normal self again!

i always am afraid i have a brain tumor, so anything i feel n my head, i obsess over, and that makes it worse, and my eyes play tricks on me also, i feel like my eyes are going crossed or i cant focus on things, and then i think tumor again, then the lightheadedness starts!! its a daily thing, its worse n the mornings until after lunch, so yes, we can have anxiety over one health problem that we obsess over

I am the same way My anxiety is sudden death.I fear it even though i know i am healthy because i have been to multiple doctors I fear they have missed something and one day I am just going to walk and suddenly die.I fear passing out and chances are your anxiety comes from that. I have never passed out either but am afraid I will. Anxiety is so powerful it eats you alive, but you must remain strong and sane. 1 way I have helped myself is by every time i get a panic attack I remind myself the feelings are the same as yesterday and I am going to be ok. Its a battle but you eventually trick your mind and it defenitely helps. Best of luck
