Kanxiety

The day before yesterday my boyfriend and I moved to a new city. We were living with my mom and her husband for a few months, but decided it wasn't a good environment anymore. So, we moved to the are he's from and are staying with a friend of his. Yesterday, we took the public transit, like a subway kind of, to the city so I could apply for a job. They ended up interviewing me right away and it went well. I haven't had a job in over six months because my HA has been so bad. Afterwards, I was feeling stressed, overwhelmed, but not anxious. We took a walk and then got back on the transit. The seats were full, so we were standing. All of a sudden, my vision was blurry and I got lightheaded. I sat down in the middle of the car and then I felt like I couldn't breathe. Maybe hyperventilating? Somebody offered me their seat, but I fainted, just for a second, trying to get into it. Our stop was next and my boyfriend dragged me off the car. I laid down and after eating a larabar and having some water, I felt well enough to walk up the stairs and back to where we were staying. But now I'm really nervous.
My boyfriend thinks I was just dehydrated. But, since yesterday I've been feeling kind of lightheaded and just not good.
Has anyone ever fainted just from being overwhelmed or stressed out or had anything similar happen to them? It really scared me when I couldn't breath. Is that an effect of fainting or could I have had a panic attack?
I'm really worried there's something wrong with me, cancer or diabetes maybe? I've been keeping myself from googling too much. I'm also terrified that I'll faint again on public transit alone or at a new job. I'm scared of getting a job, taking public transit, walking around.
