Today, I fainted and woke up in a hospital. My mom drove me to the emergency room. The doctor said I had a panic attack. What did I have a panic attack from? Bidding on eBay. FML

Panic attacks can be set off from even mundane activities. If you're under a lot of stress or prone to panic attacks, sometimes anything extra that gets your stress level up just a little bit (or even just excitement from something) will trigger a panic attack. And yes, you can pass out from panic attacks from hyperventilation.

Did you pick up Shatner's old toupee or a Smurf TV tray?

I can understand. I'm not the fainting type (never have in my life), but bidding on eBay causes me to sit in front of the screen in a cold sweat, filled with anxiousness as to whether I will win. It's the same feeling I get at sports games. Then I get really excited when I win! I usually look for vintage clothes which are sometimes pretty cheap on eBay so IMO that's always exciting.

er, you do of course realize that quite a lot of panic attacks happen for no apparent reason? i get panic attacks almost daily, and none of them have a trigger, they just happen.

they probably stem from somewhere, even if there's no immediate trigger. you should def get that looked into, tho. get some zoloft or something to prevent them, cuz those things wear you out! i hope you feel better... OP, it may have just been the immediate trigger, which can be trivial. now i never heard of passing out from panic attacks, and i hyperventilated with mine

ive already had it looked out and i have social anxiety disorder along with possible borderline personality disorder, and zoloft is lame, im trying to get off of it after 2 years of it :/ im just saying that if someone has a generalized anxiety disorder a panic attack can appear for no reason whatsoever
