Is it serious?

EK346

Hi everyone... this started in FEB 2010 when suddenly fainted after standing up.....just for abt 2 mins.
Since then i experience symptome like lightedness, dizziness, and breathless, especially when i am walking or climbing stairs. I cannot go at hot places or sunlight(these symptoms get more). I have had an echo done in august 2009 and some other thyroid tests told by a cardiologist. Is my problem anxiety?? My dad is a doctor and says itz not a big problem. But i am a bit worried. Please help me thnx.
Note: before feb 2010 i could run well....and these symptoms were not present !! and I am 18 years old

Do not forget none of us perfectly in one thing or the other even if we would like to be or claimed to be.:) A chosen profession if we like it, love it is a blessing. A future doctor just like anybody else from the beginning since he starts his study can have many problems physical and emotional. But he forced by his goal which is to became a real professional, to be more self discipline.
We all build our character for worst or better, and often we can benefit from our shortness of something, even form a not perfect health, because we can gain more ambition from it!:) It is up to us.
Best luck to you to achieve your dream!

There are limited options with anxiety. There is counselling, there is medication, there are relaxation arts such as yoga etc. Beyond that, there is little which can be done. Medication in my opinion is a last resort because it's very addictive and not good to take long term.

You are very welcome.:)
As Ed said I am also saying relaxing is very important. You will run again, just give it some time. I was a runner many times in my life. At times I forced myself to start again because it was too damn hard. Best I can recommend to you is yoga breathing. It sure was/is great for me and for many people.

Also don’t forget about relaxing music!:)

Anxiety is a common problem and give similar symptoms to heart and other problems. The worry adds to the anxiety and makes it worse. The thing to remember is that the anxiety is causing these problems and if you continue to worry and don't accept it, then you will cause real problems long term. People who get worried all the time and stressed are more likely to get heart disease later in life. You need to learn to relax.
