hi i suffer from anxiety attacks but havent had one for ages untill today, i wasnt sure if it was panick attack or low bp? for a while i have been having lightheaded feeling as well as other symptoms and im seeing a neuro on sunday, i normally get it when i stand up, like a hot feeling and that your gonna black out but not. But today i was sitting down at hairdressers after long walk and i felt really faint and suddenly felt real cold and knew if i stood up i would fall down, i was really shaky and detached and had few head pains like slight pressure, i did have usual panick symptoms like fingers tingling from hyperventilating but this as not like normal ones to me as i normally go real hot too, does this sound like low bp? what causes it? what can i do to correct ot? what other symptoms are there? sorry if i have gone on a bit, love april xx

Had you had anything to eat that day?
Sounds like possible low blood sugar.

i didnt eat much, half peace of toast but i was hot and felt full up quickly, think it could be that??x

April,
Hi, I hope that you are feeling better now...you should eat something soon...or at least several small snacks a day. I have the same problem, most of my dizzyness comes from my ears and the problems that I have with them...but I do have terribly low blood pressure (90/60 most of the time with a pulse between 40-60) every doc that I come in contact with says that the blood pressure being low is a good thing...I don't know, because I don't feel well most of the time, I have been told to eat salt...and actually my body craves salt a lot of the times...but I don't over do it either...

How low is your pressure usually?
Hope you feel better...soon..Bec

I still think you should have your blood sugar checked. Eating toast ( carb) just raises your sugar and then drops it fast causeing the exact side effects you described.
