Well, one thing is for sure, and that is do what odettesmom advised....see a doc ! From experience, I do know that panic attacks can cause fainting spells. I understand that it is because when we panic we tend to hold our breath, which causes a shortage of oxygen to the brain, resulting in fainting until we breathe again normally. Also, when depression is diagnosed as a Bipolar disorder, seizures of the gran mall type are not uncommon.
