Panic attacks are causing me to faint/almost faint? Any tips?
Long story short, I fainted in 2021 at the mall with what doctors are saying was a panic attack that induced low blood sugar...dropped to 61 even after eating an hour before. Apparently a panic attack can cause your blood pressure or blood sugar to drop? Which I thought was suppose to be the total opposite.
Now, I'm getting them more and more often. Not fainting because I tend to leave wherever is making me feel faint and anxious before it happens. But how can I fix this?
I'm trying to eat more often but without fail I keep feeling on the verge of fainting while out. I lose all color in my face, I'm super sweaty, shakey, can barely get words out because when I talk I get closer and closer to fainting.
I'm so tired of this, I never had this issue before I first fainted. I got so much blood work even a 3 hour glucose test and all my doctor said was I need to eat every couple hours as my metabolism is probably just really fast. But the problem persists.
I keep glucose tablets in my bag and sour candy to try to shock the panic away but nothing is working. It's affecting my daily life. I need to go out and do things like get my car fixed, or go to the hair salon. But once I’m there I get the extremely faint feeling again and am so close to passing out until I finally escape and leave.
