Medical assessment : You need a full medical assessment. The fact that you are hyperventilating to the point of passing out is very DANGEROUS when you are driving. Medical cause need to be ruled out. Any medical causes should be treated. In the meantime , strongly recommend some form of psychotherapy. Psychotropic medications may be indicated as well.
