how to deal with anxiety after unexplained faint?
​
as title says. i fainted in September (on my birthday 🥲) for no obvious reason. i wasn't hot, dehydrated, hungry, stressed, upset. i hadn't just stood up or been standing for a long time. I went to the doctor's the day after who noticed I had a murmur so ordered a ECG and an echocardiogram. those were all fine, which is great! but I'm left with no answers.
It seriously knocked my confidence. there isn't a day that goes by where I don't worry about fainting again. I know I have no reason to believe it will happen again, but I also have no reason to believe it won't happen again, since it was so completely out of the blue.
hoooow do i move past this? if I'm not going to get a reason for it then i need some way to stop thinking it's going to happen again. I'm tired of stressing about it every time I leave the house. any advice will be greatly appreciated 🫡
