With just my wife and I here at home alone, she sometimes suspects I am not doing well and asks...so now I typically try to say something to her whenever I feel something coming on since there have been times when I have actually passed out and I believe it is best for her to know precisely what is going on.
Having people other than my wife notice would be troubling for me because it makes things worse for me when people fuss over me, and there have been times when I have told her I am beginning to feel a bit strange and then headed for the car while leaving her inside a store to complete our business. So no, I do not "suffer in silence" in an overall sense, yet I definitely do understand why you might prefer that in place of having a lot of useless attention drawn to you.
