can a panic attack make you faint?
The story
so here's the deal, folks. i've been dealing with panic attacks for a while now, and lemme tell you: they suck big time!!! like, sometimes i feel like my heart's racing at a million miles an hour, and breathing? yeah right! but what freaks me out the most is the idea that one of these episodes might make me faint. can that even happen?! i mean, it's terrifying to think that while i'm just going about my day, boom!, i'm on the floor. i've heard stories of people who go completely out of it during a panic attack and end up fainting... has anyone else felt this way???
honestly, i try not to let it get me down too much; staying positive is kind of my thing. but seriously: if any of you have experienced this or know someone who has, i'd love to hear about it. let's share some stories here! maybe we can help each other out or just find some comfort in knowing we're not alone in this crazy mess. i mean, these panic attacks already take enough outta us without adding fainting scares into the mix!!
