Stress/fainting

[Shelly15]

I've been really stressed out today and I keep getting heart flutters and every time I stand up my heart races and I feel like I'm just about to faint, I go really hot and sweaty, dizzy, vertigo, tingling in fingers and shaking and ringing in ears and I can't breath. I so scared my hearts going to give up and I'm going to collapse.

It's like my body isn't getting enough breath and my heart is working over time with no oxygen. Is this normal with stress?

Its pretty normal with anxiety. Your body is producing a lot of cortisol otherwise known as the stress hormone and it has that reaction. In your case, and it may sound silly.....you just have to remember to breathe properly. Slow deep inhales through your mouth and slow exhales out through your nose. Have you seen a doctor about this? If not I suggest you do.
