Last month I suddenly got this undying fear of fainting. I have actually fainted once around 3 years ago due to low blood pressure, but it was terrifying and I guess I kind of forgot about it until lately. Every time I feel hot or my stomach is upset I automatically panic like crazy because those are the things I've felt beforehand. It's become a problem to the point where I'm agoraphobic now and I'm afraid of doing anything, including showering ( don't worry, I still do daily ) but like, come on if you fainted in the shower/BATH more than likely you'd drown.
I've seen my Dr. and she has no answers but Prozac which I started taking around a week ago along with Valium but I haven't gotten much luck out of it.
Does anyone else have this fear? I am so scared and just don't have anyone to talk to :weep:
