I tend to pass out immediately after hearing about a medical procedure or hearing someone describe an injury. I have always found medical procedures, blood, etc... to be disturbing and (lately) hearing descriptions of procedures have been enough to trigger an episode. My blood pressure has dropped to the point that I have gone into convulsions. My doctor believes it is related to anxiety and has prescribed Zoloft, although it hasn't solved the problem. Has this happened to anyone else?
