TW: fainting due to anxiety

Hi there. Recently I’ve been getting anxiety attacks in public that manifest as near fainting episodes. Literally could be looking at cereal at the grocery store and I start to feel EXTREME anxiety, then orange and white floaters start flying and I get that fuzzy WOAH THERE I GO feeling. 

…100% of the time though I don’t actually faint. I adjust my mask so I can take a breath of air, blink a few times, re-center, snap myself out of it, and I’m totally fine. But I literally have no idea how to deal with this and I’m beginning to fear that this is going to happen all the time when I’m out in public by myself.

Does this happen to you? How do you prevent this from happening, do you have any advice? I doubt this is medical because I snap out of it once I “get ahold of myself”.
