Is it common to pass out during a panic attack? i've had them for years and i've never passed out but i'm always scared i will!

Hyperventilation: when marked may lead to passing out. It sounds like your symptoms are inadequately controlled. Might wish to examine your treatment to look for areas where it can be beefed up. Take care.

Slow deep breaths: Breathing slowly and deeply during a panic attack and putting your head between your knees can often prevent someone from passing out. You may want to consider cognitive behavioral therapy or other means to deal with your panic attacks
