I experience vertigo-like symptoms (heart races, cold sweat, dizziness and tense muscles) when driving over bridges. Once I crest the highest point of the bridge and begin my decent, I feel a major rush of relief. Is there a medication I could take to control these symptoms and still be able to drive?
His am Chat Doctor. I have read your query. I think I can help you. The symptoms of the query are actually quite suggestive of anxiety, and possibly fear of heights. Do you have a fear of falling, or similar vertigo when standing at the top of a building? The best treatment for this is behavioral therapy. You will need to meet a behavioral therapist in your area for the same. I have tried to make it as simple as possible. Please feel free to ask a further clarification. Best of luck
