    Question Fear of passing out

    Hi all
    well im a 24 year old and have had gad and panick disorder since i was 18 and agoraphobia.
    My main fear is dizziness and the thought of passin out i could cope with the other symptoms but not this one it drives me crazy. i have noticed lately that i get dizzy before a panick or anxiety attck starts so im thinking it may be another problem thats causing the dizzyness.
    any advice greatly received .

    your right to question this ,
    for the past 6 years I have had dizziness and near fainting and then the panic. All the doctors told me its anxiety making me dizzy and I beleived that until I spoke to other anxiety sufferers, who told me they get a vague lightheadedness only when they panicked.
    Then I notised i would stagger in the street and felt unbalanced and turning my head made things worse.

    Now I am under the hospital who agree I have some problems going on.

    There is a good book called ....

    Its all about panic and inner ear problems being connected.
