3 Symptoms of Agoraphobia

Agoraphobia is an anxiety disorder involving an irrational fear of being trapped or feeling the inability to escape a certain situation. People with agoraphobia fear crowds, riding in cars, entering a busy place, or even standing in line. Typically, agoraphobic people try to restrict themselves to a safety zone which could be their home. The thought of even leaving this zone of safety puts them into panic mode.
If you feel extreme anxiety and experience recurring panic attacks in confined spaces, please reach out to us for our online doctor consultation services to get help from the safety of your home today.
Here are some symptoms that agoraphobic people might experience.

Anxiety Attacks

People with agoraphobia generally feel anxiety that may turn into panic attacks. Physical symptoms could also include rapid heartbeat, hyperventilation, chest pain, diarrhea, shivers, feeling sick, feeling hot, having difficulty swallowing, feeling faint, etc.

Disturbing Thoughts

People with agoraphobia often feel and have thoughts that aren’t entirely rational.

• They might feel embarrassed that a panic attack is setting in.
• They will feel like they are unable to escape a specific place.
• They will also feel like they are losing their sanity and feel dread.
• They will start to tremble and want to be left alone.

Behavioral Changes

When agoraphobic people notice they cannot go into crowds without feeling anxiety,

• They will start to exhibit introverted behavior.
• They might stop hanging out with their friends and would prefer to stay home.
• They will avoid public transport and long queues.
• They will need someone, whom they trust, to be with them all the time.
