Well I have been told I have the opposite problem! I faint sometimes and have been told that it is anxiety, even though it doesn't feel psychological to me. I get this strange feeling that I have to lie down and if I don't I'll faint. I also have a bad habit of thinking that I need to sit down within a certain amount of time or else I'll faint and so I run in the general direction of something to sit on. This results in my running and collapsing within a few steps. Now I am told to crouch or sit where I am and breathe slow and put my head down for a bit. Seems to help. Maybe it's low blood pressure or something...
