Feel like I'm gonna pass out

I'm in the psychiatrist office and I'm waiting and I have a headache and feel very lightheaded and reality feels like it's slipping away. I'm scared I'm gonna pass out. I felt like it on the way here too. It's hard to see straight. I really don't want to pass out in the waiting room. I don't understand why I'm so lightheaded

I never passed out. I always get more lightheaded and woozy when it starts getting warmer out since I got the anxiety. I do drink loads of water though so I'm not sure why..

How did things go?

I know this feeling. You may have been experiencing derealization. It's your mind kind of going into an 'idle' mode to protect you from perceived danger. Glad to hear you got through it... we always do!

Everything turned out great, i drank a little iced coffee which actually helped me feel more "awake" and I was able to have a very productive appointment. (:

You sound like me. Been feeling light headed all day...but it does feel more like lossing consciousness. From the time i left the house through my shopping.....and nowon the sofa...feel like i still could pass out. Well....if you didnt...i havent yet..so guess we wont..but it is a hateful feeling. And yes...my head is still hurting pretty bad.
