I too suffer from the fear of fainting, in fact it has at times been so bad that it over shadows the POTS. I worry about fainting on the street, which I have done, fainting when holding the kettle, crossing the road, when I am alone with my children, when I use the bathroom (I don't lock the door), the list goes on. I also worry about who will help if it happens when I am out with my two children, I had a nasty inccident when it first happened and a drunk had started to walk away with my pushchair and my baby!! The other ridiculous thing is I worry I won't come round. I suffer from a severe hospital phobia which has not been helped over the last year with all my POTs inccidents. I have been referred for Cognitive Behaviour Therapy to help with the phobia and I am hoping they may help me deal with the fear of fainting. I feel really silly about it all and life before pots was never filled with so much anxiety. Jess
