- I've just recently discovered that a panic disorder paired with acute low iron anemia is what has been causing my fainting spells. The nausea,dizziness,heart palpatations and feeling like I'm about to die before I faint is what has been plauging my life for quite some time. Mostly,this happens in public,probably brought on by my social anxiety and social phobia disorders. This may sound unorthidoxed and in most places illegal,but I feel that marijuana is the only thing that seems to help,after trying every medication legal in the U.S.A. I can't wait for possible legalization,and wish everyone else the best in their endevers.
