<b id="quote">quote:</b id="quote"><table border="0" id="quote"><tr id="quote"><td class="quote" id="quote">welcome! im blood phobic too, but not as bad as some others, i can just deal with small amount on myself, but any ting else big like a sudden cut, im freaking out, and if i see anyone else have an injury or bleed, im freaking also.
I had a huge fear of fainting when i have a panic attack, but my therapist told me that its simply not possible as your blood preasure rises, when u faint, your blood preasure drops. The only exception to fainting as a phobic reaction is injury or blood phobia *GREAT NEWS HUH??!!!! NOT!* BUT!!!! i was given a little exercise.... when you get that feeling {the sinking one before you faint} tense and un tense your fists {continuously} this get the blood pumping back up to the brain and there for, no fainting!!! its a wonder worker! dont have to worry about sitting down on the street with my head in my knees everytime i fear fainting now!

I was told exactly the same (about not fainting with a panic attack) although never been told about that exercise - thats great thanks will certainly try that!
I have fainted from a panic attack but that was also blood related as well, went to see the doctor about a tummy pain only for him to say he thought it was appendicitis - I felt strange had to lay down on the surgery bed and fainted and had to be taken to hospital by ambulance - where strangely enough they took blook from me and I wasnt bothered!
Always nice to know of others going through the same.
