ACROPHOBIA:
Walaikum Salam,
Acrophobia, or fear of heights as it is commonly called, can be treated in a variety of ways.
Treatment options include a specific type of behavior therapy, called Exposure Therapy, which consists of 2 different types of therapies, 1).Systematic Desensitization, and 2). Flooding. Systematic desensitization also involves relaxation training, including Progressive Muscle relaxation( PMR) and Deep Breathing.
Other treatment option is the use of medications. The medications that are generally used for this purpose are either in the Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRI) class, or the Benzodiazapines class.
The choice of treatment of acrophobia depends upon a number of factors, including how severe the phobia is, how often the person has to face his fear of heights, and how quickly he or she wants to treat his phobia.
I don't know if you yourself are suffering from this fear, or just wanted to get some basic information regarding this. I know I used a lot of scientific jargon in my reply, so if there is anything not clear to you, or any terms that you didn't understand, please let me know and I would be glad to clarify that for you.

walaikum Salam,
I am doing very well, alhamdolillah, thanks! How about yourself? And you are very welcome.
You haven't clearly explained your symptoms. Do you feel nauseated and experience blocked ears when you are on a tall building, or when you are in an aeroplane or something?
If you explain your symptoms more clearly, I would be able to give you a more clear reply. |

Huda Shah:
The symptoms that you have now described, including feeling nausea, vomiting, diziness, headaches, when going on a zig zag road, or when in a boat etc etc are pointing towards the possibility of motion sickness. This is very different than what you had initially mentioned.
There are several effective treatment strategies available to curb this problem including commercially available patches that you can place behind your ears for relief from these symptoms.
The symptoms that you described in your second paragraph are anxiety symptoms. All of us have a certain degree of anxiety build into our psyche, and this anxiety serves us a protective function, but sometimes, this anxiety becomes excessive, and that's when it becomes a problem rather than serving us a protective function.
And yes, excessive anxiety is a treatable condition, and it can be treated through medications, or through other means, like relaxation exercises, or cognitive behavioral strategies. |

Huda Shah:
You are very welcome.
Yes these patches can be purchased from the medical stores, or, if you don't want to use the patch, certain pills are also available for this purpose. I can't mention any names here as it would be against forum rules.
Acrophobia( Acro meaning high, phobia meaning intense fear), as the name suggests , is an intense fear of heights. |
