I have blacked completely out once but most of the time if I lay down It eases off but once it does I sweat extremely . the time I went out when I came too I was soaked with sweat in a matter of seconds.

Hello,
Very likely the episode you describe is related to anxiety as it might cause numbness and even blackouts if you hyperventilate.
On the other hand, it might be advisable to have a visit with your doctor and check your heart and possibly have an ECG if the doctor thinks it is needed to rule out heart problems.
Once the heart check comes out normal you can start treatment for anxiety.
I hope this answers your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
