Shot in the dark but did anyone’s anxiety cause them to faint or lose consciousness? If so, how were you able to overcome / what was cause? Family member is fainting 2-3x a day but hospital never finds an underlying issue

Hey I used to have this problem. Not nearly as often as your family member it was usually once or twice a year for me.

Doctors couldn't find any reasons but all I could think of was it was caused by underlying anxiety not always apparent to me. It has stopped happening for the past few years.

Yes, but not nearly as often as your family member. I’m a generally anxious person but it only happens with medical stuff (getting blood drawn, any sort of invasive test, etc). Doctors have just referred to it as vasovagal syncope, something “off” with my vagal nerve.

You may want to get them some help. A pathological study can tell if it is physiological or neurological. Get another opinion.

Yes.

I blacked out due to taking more Xanax than I should have + no sleep for 2,3 days, and I went missing for several hours.

I am learning how to forgive myself and move on from this, as my family/friends/loved ones already did and have been beyond great about it.

But it still nags me, for the grief and worry I caused to them that day.

I’m not sure why, but the vagus nerve comes to mind. Googling “vagus nerve fainting” turns up results for vasovagal syncope. Maybe this is an avenue to explore.

Hi y’all,
I shared an intermediate workout program (Back/Legs/Arms&Shoulders/Leg/Chest split) with a few friends the other day and figured I could also share it with others if interested.

It’s a program I follow outside of my 12-16 training block preps, and if anyone wants, I can share it with them. It’s for strength training.

Also happy to explain what any of the exercises are if someone wants the workouts and doesn’t know the benefit or how to do them.

Feel free to DM me about it

Cheers
