You may want to make an appointment with your doctor to rule out other causes, but it was probably a panic attack. People don't pass out from panic attacks even though they feel like they may.

And they take a lot out of you. I've had plenty of them, two this last week.

I have never had a blood test done while having a panic attack but my theory is I go hypoglycemic. Besides Xanax, sugary soda and/or a candy bar have helped me in the past.

But definitely you want to see a doctor.

There are Panic Attack and Anxiety Support Groups here on DS but they are not as active as this one.

Hope you feel better soon.

I know when my sugar is low or to high i feel that way...

good luck

Ok thanot:)

I strongly insist you take your medical advise from a medical professional .. i.e. doctor.

Your episode could be caused by any of hundreds of possibilities ... some very serious and urgent.

Take your experience to a doctor ... and get your advice from a doctor.

It happens to me quite often. There can be 3 possible reasons for it. An inner ear infection or condition, being dehydrated, or developing Vertigo. I have had all three but really have a hard time dealing with the Vertigo at this point. And being dehydrated will make your blood pressure drop which in turn will cause you to get light headed and possibly faint. I hope this helps some. Hugs GB
