Thank you for your question and welcome to AnxietyConnection.com.

 

I am not a medical professional and would not be able to give you medical advice.

 

I would suggest speaking with your doctor about the symptoms you are having. Although anxiety attacks are not normally dangerous, just scary, you should have your doctor check to make sure these symptoms are not being caused by any physical conditions that may be harmful to your child. Since you are blacking out and fainting, you should definately make your doctor aware of your symptoms.
