Is it serious?

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!

Your dad is a doctor, I am sure you can trust in him. He wants only the best for you. But I agree with you it is a bs to say your problem is anxiety. They say that too often.

You should ask your father to sit down with you and talk to you as  he would talk to any of his patient. He should put you on some testing again 2008 was long time ago, things been changing and if you feel it is something wrong he has to recommend to you where to start ,how many tests you need etc....
Yes you do need number of tests I think.
