Monday night, I had a really bad panic attack. I was in a social group meeting at University, and I suddenly felt I had to get out. My panic attack lasted apparently for about 90 minutes, at which point I collapsed. My two friends who were with me phoned an ambulance, but I regained consciousness quite quickly, but not for long. I then woke up apparently a few minutes later, and then the paramedic arrived. He did checks on me, and everything was almost normal.
I can't remember any of this, this is what my friend told me happened. What scares me is that wherever I read about this sort of thing, all the sources say that it's almost impossible to faint during or after an attack, unless theres another problem. I don't really know what to do about this - I'm going to talk to my doctor tomorrow about it but they've already run tests and said that there is nothing obviously wrong with me.
Has anyone else ever fainted/fell asleep during a panic attack? Is there a logical explaination for this?
