5. Agoraphobia Symptoms
There are several symptoms of agoraphobia that a person may experience. It is important to note that some of the symptoms of agoraphobia are the same as symptoms of heart disease and other health issues, so it is important to get checked out by a medical professional to determine the underlying cause of the symptoms that you are experiencing.
Some common symptoms associated with agoraphobia include breathing issues, a fast pounding heart rate, sweating, shaking, trembling, feeling extremely hot or extremely cold, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, difficulty swallowing, chest pain, feeling dizzy, feeling faint, and a fear of dying.
All of these symptoms can be extremely scary. When a person is feeling scared after experiencing these symptoms, it can cause further anxiety. This never-ending circle of fear and panic are signatures of agoraphobia and should be discussed with your primary care physician. Your doctor will likely recommend seeing a therapist help you with these issues.
