I can certainly understand the fear of going to the doctors, I am exactly the same.

hi hope you feeling a bit better
i hate going to the doctors as i feel that they see i have had panic attacks and then instantly there is nothing wrong with me its nerves and i feel like i have wasted my time
i dont no if this helps but i was once told that you cant faint sitting down so if you feell faint sit down
