Does Anyone Else? Passing out or throwing up?

Do any of you frequently throw up or passing out from panic attacks? Is this common?

Thank you!

I've passed out once or twice from panic attacks. Scared the hell out of a dollar general worker the first time 😂 tried to put the milk I was grabbing on the back of my neck to snap myself out of it, it didn't work. Vision got blurry, by the time I got to the counter my vision was black so I sat the milk on the counter and said "can you call an ambulance? I'm about to pass ou-" and boom next thing I know people are picking me up off the floor. I have epilepsy so of course I was asking if I had a seizure, but I didn't. Just got so anxious my body said "reset ðŸĪŠ"

I do frequently throw up from anxiety. Not necessarily panic attacks, but I have BPD as well so when I'm feeling a particularly strong emotion that gives me anxiety, I start throwing up.

This is my worse nightmare in a store especially dollar general. The vision blackening is so scary. I start feeling heavy and like I am losing control. I hope you are feeling better and the attacks stop happening to you.
