Can anxiety cause you to pass out?

Anxiety can cause: passing out, but so can many other things. It is important to know why you may have passed out. Please see your doc for an exam. If medical conditions are ruled out please see a clinical psychologist to learn strategies to deal w/anxiety. Peace and good health.

Syncope.: "Passing out" is termed syncope, and yes, an anxiety attack can cause syncope. But it's not the ONLY thing that can cause syncope, and some medical things that can cause syncope can make you feel anxious as well.
