Ok so Im in my twenties and do very intense physical activity most days of the week either in the form of sprinting or running. Im wondering if I should be worried though about sudden heart death as I have fainted 5 times in the past. I dont know whether theres a good explanation for each though or if theres something wrong robably. Once when I was 11 in the school playground Id just finshed playing or whatever and was lining up for lunch. I felt really weird, got anxious, saw like white specs then woke up on the floor minutes later.
The second time was when I was 14, I had flu and woke up then fainted in the bathroom everything faded black.
The third time was when I was 17 I started a new job in a frozen factory and after 15 minutes started to feel really anxious and weird I think it was psychological cause i didnt like being there on a conveyor belt with loads of people around. I felt sick, saw white specs then woke up on the floo. For about 5 minutes after i woke up it felt like nothing was real.
The fourth time was at college I had period pains and didnt want to go in but my friend said that id get in trouble and would get kicked out so I told myself to stop being a coward and went in. I ended up fainting and was unconcious for like 5 minutes.
The fift time I was 19, had period cramps again at a bus stop, got anxious and fainted. Ive not fainted for about 6 years but still over the years have felt really anxious, the thought of fainting has made me even more anxious ive got like a phobia of it now. They say that yo cant faint when you are anxious but all the times i fainted i was anxious.
Anyway yea Ive had 2 ecg's where they fit those electrode things to you for 2 minutes both were normal apparantly. Im very active and have felt ok when running and pushing myself to exhaustion but in the back of my mind I always feel theres something wrong. When i tell people ive fainted 5 times they say its not normal for someone whos healthy and fit.
What do you think?
