I've heard you're not supposed to faint during PA....
You feel like you getting ready to faint but you dont .....its like this fear keeps you from passing out ....
But i guess its possible ......if you start breathing too fast(hyperventilating) and you're not trying to slow your breathing down you might faint ....

I did faint once. my husband is swedish and once we were in sweden and we went to a party with all of his friends. there were like 30 people,lots of them have known my husband since kindergarden. it was the first time they were meeting me so I felt all eyes were on me, everyone looking at the 'foreigner'..... I was so nervous.... during the party there were different 'games' and competitions, drinking games mostly. during one of the games I was surrounded by all these people and I was going to sit on a chair but someone moved the chair and I fell on my ass on the floor. everyone was laughing so hard and looking at me. I got up, went to my table, started to hyperventilate and totally fainted.
and then when I woke up I was so embarrased thinking that probably people thought that I was pissed drunk....
