Dear Dr Sachs

I think I might have a phobia, but I don’t know what of. Often when I’m walking down the street I will suddenly feel anxious, my heart will start beating quickly and I will feel faint. The thing is I know I’m not frightened of open spaces or of meeting people, so what could it be? It doesn’t happen all the time, but just in certain places.

Joanne Kingsley

Dear Joanne,

Yes, it does sound as though you might have a phobia. Certainly the symptoms are very common and it sounds as though you suffer from mild panic attacks. It’s also quite frightening when you don’t know what causes it them. In fact, that might be part of the problem – if you knew what you were scared of it would be easier to confront it. I think it’s worth you sitting down and trying to think what is around you when these things happen. It might be demophobia (the fear of crowds), or possibly something like cyclophobia (the fear of bicycles). If you can find a common factor that occurs when you feel anxious it might be easier to overcome your fear.

Dr Sachs
Dear Dr Sachs

I know what I’m scared of, the list is very long. I’m scared of flying, of heights, of spiders and of cats. My wife thinks I’m silly and she often tries to scare me by bringing in spiders from the garden or talking about going on holiday by plane. The thing is, just thinking about these things makes me frightened. So, what can I do to help myself?

Anwad Khan
Dear Anwad,

Poor you. It sounds as though you are really having a hard time. I’m sure if you sat down with your wife and talked to her she would try to help you. Another thing you can do is to try and relax more. It might be a good idea to take up yoga or some other exercise like swimming. One problem we have when we become frightened is that our body becomes tense, if you can relax then this will help.
