Over the last few months I've unexpectedly lost consciousness 3 times
on two occasions (second time I went out again a few minutes later).
I've also had several episodes of not feeling "right" - dizzyness,
inability to focus, feeling disconnected, etc. I haven't been flying
at all during this time as I was afraid of anything happening in the
air, and now, though I haven't gotten an official diagnosis yet, all
signs are pointing to me having panic disorder.


Sorry to hear about that, Mike.

BTW, just a thought -- do you drink a lot of diet soft drinks? The
artificial sweeteners can upset the amino acid balance in some people.
