Hello doctor,
I have a fear of heights. I feel extremely uncomfortable while crossing the bridge, or railway flyover. My heartbeats get unusually high. I want to overcome this problem.
Kindly help.
Hello,
Thanks for posting a query at icliniq.
The problem you described is known as a phobic disorder or you can call it a height phobia. Both talk therapy or psychotherapy and medicines show good improvement in this.
I hope this helps.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
