What Causes Fainting Spells After Seeing Blood Or When Emotionally Overwhelmed?
Hi, sometimes I collapse and the doctor said that I got Epilepsy. But recently there is an incident and I collapse after I saw my blood. I remembered about phobia and confused whether I got epilepsy or not. I also ever collapse because injection & clean my bad wounds. But I also can collapse when too sad and my hand ever shaking without reason. I already ate medicine of Epilepsy around 7 years& didn t get any better. Am I Epilepsy?Or Phobia?Or both of it?

Hello and welcome.
Get an electroencephalogram (EEG) and MRI of your head conducted. We can confirm/rule out epilepsy and if it is indeed ruled out then we can just rule you out to be a faint hearted person. But before the MRI I would recommend an elaborate evaluation with a neurologist.
Best wishes.
