I often feel like I'm going to pass out and it's ruining my life

What it says on the tin. I've been checked out by doctors and nothing is wrong but a lot of the time I feel loopy and weak like im going to faint. It's so scary and I can't even keep a job or go out. Is anyone else like this?

Hey Anxiouslulu,

Is this the only symptom you have or do you suffer from others too?

I’ve got something very similar, had it for a year, it came on during a stressful time in my life and have been unable to shake it off, I’ve not come close to passing out but have been constantly ‘dizzy’ for a while.

I actually went skiing for a couple of days and didn’t experience it once, which leads me down the anxiety path. Do you ever have times when you don’t notice it, i.e. occupied with something else?

Anxiouslulu, I use to be like this as well. It's a terrible feeling and the more we focus onit, the worse it gets. It wasn't until I accepted it as Anxiety that I started making changes

in my life.

At first, medication and therapy to address my fears and stressors.

And then since anxiety stems from a Mind/Body Connection, I found that when our

breathing is off,, we tend to hyperventilate or even hold our breath causing this feeling

of faint. Another thing that can help is hydrating. Dehydration can cause this faint feeling

as well.

Start with finding some good breathing meditation on YouTube. You will be surprised

in how much this can help you feel better. The fear of not being able to work or go out

will go away once you have control over your emotional health once more. xx

I was like this for years before I finally figured it out. I always thought my blood sugar was low or that it was due to fatigue.

My anxiety ramps up in my stomach. Through therapy and meds, exercise and meditation I can deal with my issues by focusing on the fact that I finally know what it is. I need daily exercise and meditation to keep this under control.

It's rare that I have it now but it's not gone. Emotional pain triggers it, chaos and stress also.

Accepting it as a part of who you are is the first step. Now you can search for things that help you deal with it.

Wishing you success with this
