During the episodes he felt anxious, dizzy, nauseous, had intense headaches, and sometimes had difficulty breathing. After having a “spell” Arthur worried about when the next one would occur. A thorough medical exam and a series of laboratory tests found that nothing was physically wrong with Arthur. The physician suspected that Arthur was suffering from XXXXXX and asked if he had been expe­riencing increased stress in recent weeks. Arthur acknowledged that he was somewhat anxious about graduating from college in a month; however, he doubted that his “spells” could have an emotional basis since the symptoms were mostly physical.
