For awhile, I've been having this near fainting spells that come and go lasting a couple seconds at the most. This morning was the worst with my face feeling tingling, heart racing, hands were very red, was feeling sick to my stomach and feeling tired after the episode.

I have noticed a bit of yellowing on the outside of my fingers, mainly on right hand. I do smoke, but about a pack a week. I do have a persistent, occasional cough that started when smoking dope and have not done that in over a year.

Strange thing 99% of the time, it happens at work. My job requires me to stand most of my 8.5hr. shift. At home, for the most part, I spend a lot of time sitting around. My diet isn't the healthiest, I like energy drinks and booze.

I was born with a heart murmur which required open heart surgery at a very young age. Im in my early 30's now. Recently had a heart checkup but no EKG was done. No problems were found.

Hi there!

Sorry to hear that you have not been feeling that well. I take it from the fact that you had an EKG that the doctors thought that might be the problem and have now ruled it out? If so that is good but it still leaves you with no answer as to what is going on!

I think the yellowing on the fingers is probably just staining from the cigarettes you smoke.

Is you job very stressfully? If the docs can find no physical cause for your symptoms then maybe the stress of work is making you have some sort of panic attack? Is that possible?
