Acrophobia is the
abnormal and persistent fear of heights.
It is also known as Hypsiphobia.
Acrophobia is closely related to Batophobia, the fear of heights or
being close to objects that are really high such as skyscrapers.
A phobia is a strong,
persistent fear of situations, objects, activities or persons. The main symptom is an excessive and
unreasonable desire to avoid the feared subject. Other phobia symptoms include
shortness of breath, irregular heartbeat, sweating, nausea, and an overall
feeling of dread. Phobias are the most
common form of anxiety disorders.
