How can I stop myself from fainting?

Definitely Consult a doctor.\n\nHowever... most fainting is as a result of lack of BLOOD FLOW.  This may seem WEIRD... but it's a technique that ASTRONAUTS use and TEST PILOTS\n\nSometimes, due to EXTREME Velocities.. the blood rushes from their brain.  If you think it's EMBARRASSING to black out when your scared... it can be DEADLY to these guys.\n\nHere is a technique.. and I'm NOT kidding.. or being disrespectful.. what they do... when they feel they are getting LIGHT HEADED... is CLENCH their BUTT CHEEK as hard as they can.  (I mean it)... there is a lot of blood in the tissue... that gets infused into your blood stream when you do this.\n\nIt add as much as a few ounces and increases your blood pressure momentarily... maybe long enough to remain conscience...  These TEST PILOTS do it all the time.\n\nI know it sound strange... but it really works.\n\nPLEASE see a doctor.  At 14, nobody should be blacking out.\n\n&tan

the easiest way is to hold your breath as long as you can and tense yourself all up.  or run.  or drink alcohol.

It could be a cause of low blood pressure so try getting some sleep and rest. Eat properly. Have a right diet, because there are many causes of dizziness. Hope that helps. :)

Reduce intake of Refined Sugars!!, do not drink soda or beverages that have caffeine in them, do not eat more than you need, try to cut the chocolate.  Try meditation ( it does not work foe evryone), try colour therapy ( green usually cams down) , drink chamomille tea, valerian tea  ( helps alot ). And remember . YOU CAN NOT DIE FROM A PANIC ATTACK!\n\nIf that helps or even if it does not ...and you feel the need to talk to someone just e-mail me. I know how it feels to go through panic attacks i used to have them all the time but then using the tools i told you about and support from my family ( no medication) i got rid of them!\n\nI wish you luck and strenght!

Eat a little something about an hour before your presentation - you don't want to pass out from low blood sugar due to your anxiety first of all. \n\nSecond, practice some breathing and relaxing exercises before your speech. Take a slow deep breath in with the nose, slow exhale from the mouth. Then do several mouth exercises - say the vowels A,E,I,O,U with very exaggerated facial muscle use - stretching each one as far as you can while saying them out loud. This will relax the facial muscles that you will use to speak as well as smile.\n\nForcing a smile, even when you don't feel it on the inside, really can improve your mood. \n\nDon't look directly at the people you are speaking to. Look just above their heads - they will not realize you are not actually looking at them.\n\nTry to relax. People are just people. To put it bluntly, we all still sit on the toilet, barf when we're sick, blow boogers out of our noses, do stupid things, have problems at home, etc. etc. etc. Don't ever put anyone on a pedestal, no matter who they are - it's easier to speak to people when you realize they are not above you.

Try listening to music, something upbeat and lively, not classical or slow songs, unless thoughs keep you awake. Or take short breaks often throughout your day. On your little break take a walk or walk up and down stairs to get you blood moving through your body.

While standing, hold your breathe, and try to touch your toe and stay in that position as long as you can stand it. \n\nSeveral times until hiccups dissapear. It really works!

Your problem is a bit unusual, but not unknown. There are people who faint when their anxiety reaches a certain level. I used to know someone who would pass out cold if she got nauseated, which really agitated her. After coming around from the faint, she'd throw up. \n\nYour problem seems easier to deal with. Ask the doctor to use some of the cooling/numbing gel that is used on the skin before steroid injections into joints to numb the skin over your arm vein.  Then shut your eyes and keep them shut during the blood draw and breathe normally. You will not feel the needle. And I am speaking from very direct, recent experience here, since I have some chronic inflammatory problems and need steroid shots for it. I dreaded the first one, but there's actually nothing to feel with that gel beforehand.

Take a deep breath, without blowing drink a big cup of water holding yet your breath.\n\nThat always does the trick at home.

It's called orthostatic hypertension. When you stand up too fast your bp drops too low causing you to black out or feel faint. Try standing up slowly and see if that helps. Make sure you tell your doctor this is happening because there may be an underlying cause that is treatable.

I think that the blacking out and heart speeding/slowing are definetly anxiety attacks/panic (to some degree) attacks. \nAll of the things you just decribed can be attributed to stress, whether it is just a persistent small amount you deal with daily or a huge amount that was just dropped on you. \nEither way, you may want to see a doctor as that would be the quickest and easiest solution.\nIf you want to try some home remedies first, try taking a day off from doing anything. Stay at home and take a warm shower, sleep late, do yoga, take a walk.\nIf the weather is nice and not that cold by you yet, you could try doing a jog in the morning before going where you need to go. Excersize helps release stress and you'd be surprised how much a habitual 10 minute walk can help you.

Dizzyness can be caused be many things.  One of the most common is low blood surgar, the other is being anemic.  If you are passing out completely is could be a seizure.  It sounds like you might just have low blood sugar or could be anemic you should ask your doctor about the symptoms and they can give you a better answer.

I'm guessing by moving your legs you're moving blood up to your brain.  \n\nSoldiers who stand at attention too long can faint, because there's no movement to get blood up to the brain.
