Passing out is not common, but it can happen.
It certainly can happen with hyperventilation; however, it would be very important to get a medical examination to rule out any other possible causes of passing out. No matter what, there’s lots of help and treatment for you!

Passing out during a panic episode is one possible symptom. There is treatment for panic disorder.
Even though it does not happen often, it is quite possible. However, it will be prudent to rule out all other causes of passing out.
