fear of driving medical term

Can anyone explain this medical term?

I highly recommend the follwing resources to help you over-come this fear of driving. In my opinion they are priceless and well worth the money. If you can afford them, I would order them today so you can get your recovery on the road. They have been instrumental in my recovery and I actually keep them in the car with me, just in case. 1) The Driving Fear Program - www.drivingfear.

You are not actually fearful of driving or travelling itself, but rather the fear of losing control if you have another panic attack. This is because when we have a panic attack, the first thing we want to do is to retreat to our "safe place", which for most people is our home. The further away from our comfort zone, the more uncomfortable we feel.

Hi. Unfortunately this all evolves around your anxiety and you're developing Agoraphobia which will hold you prisoner in your home (safe place). Driving is a big trigger for many with panic attacks it goes along with Agoraphobia, fear of open places and fear you'll have a panic attack, the feeling of being "trapped" wherever you are.

The beta-blockers have been successful in preventing his afib for over 8 years, so they are a major help of course. It would be good to be informed about the long term impact though, but our doctor hasn't been able to give us these answers. After the last episode we fear it may get worse, and that at some point cardioversion will no longer be an option. So he is considering ablation.

I have been diagnose with major depressive disorder generalized anxiety and adhd when i was 17 or 18 had a nervous breakdown they put me on 150mg zoloft 60mg strattera and 3mg xanax did fine then about 3 years ago stopped driving at this time i wasnt taking the strattera or xanax just the fear of driving bc i had 2 major panick attacks while by myself fast forward 3 years going through a divorce and the depression and crazy thoughts came on bad well before the divorce was trying to get off the z

I will be flying to Philippines in 2 days I normally have a MASSIVE fear of flights. This time round, I anticipate my fear of flights will go crazy because I will be going on an OLD aircraft (A340 model, possibly around 20 years old plane!) So how am I to stop this fear? Can i take Xanax? I checked with my insurance provider, and they say I can claim for Xanax, so looks like I can get a psychiatrist to dispense some for me.

On the outside of my forearm I can feel the pulse of the muscular nerve firing off at random and it causes my wrist to move outward on it's own on both hands. I can see the muscle contract in my arm as well. This can continue for a few mins, hours or days. Does anyone know the correct medical term for this? I don't think it will fall under either fasciculation or myokomia.

The term says nothing whatsoever concerning the etiology of the medical problem. Presumably you had both an MRA and an MRI. Right now be very careful. If the black-out came from a form of epilepsy there will usually be an "aura" or sensation (sometimes on the tongue) a short while before the event. If you feel something coming on do not hesitate to pull to the side of the road and stop immediately.

I too struggle with panic attacks and the fear of them returning. Have you talked to your dr about this? You might want to consider talking with a therapist. I do know that if you let the fear take over your mind it is only going to get worse. The best advice I can give you is to talk to someone and try to face the fear. Get back in your car and go for a drive even if it is only around the block. Each time you do it it will get easier. You have to take your control back.

Could a psychiatrist help with a fear of solipsism? Since October 2012, ive been fearing, 'what if nothing was real, or someone created by my mind' I cant take it, its constant, im so depressed, afraid and lonely. It feels like ive lost my family! I cant rationalize with the thoughts, I can think of a very convincing reason why its wrong, but I keep what ifing. Is there any way meds could help with this? Im so afraid ill be like this forever.

Hi~ Your medical issues are complicated. I think too much so for this forum.Just my opinion. Detox will be rough for you given your delicate condition. Try seeking out a doctor who specializes in addiction. This may not be covered by Kaiser but it's worth the money. I think the one day detox will be way too stressful on your body. I'm sure you can find some one who will advise you on a nice,slow taper off the Norco.

Now I feel it at the back of the mouth - close to opening into the gullet. The partial infection is very painful when I am kind of terrified of the thought of being infected with HIV. I have been to the doctor twice so far and had my blood drawn for the RPR and FULL BLOOD COUNT examination but both came out NEGATIVE. Also, I went to the VCT center for an HIV test 4 weeks after possible exposure but results came out negative for HIV.

i was driving confidently for the last 8 years. suddenly start to fear driving especially curves...now i could not take the vehicle in the middle of the road..i try to avoid and automatically i drive on left side of the road instead of straight...so i loose balance..i am sittiting also slightly towards left...this problem is giving me sleepless night...please advise me..........

My biggest fear out of everything is my water breaking while driving their car. I am absolutely terrified that this is going to happen. I have already gotten contractions while driving with one of the twins, thankfully the contractions weren't crazy bad, and this happened today. I dont know what to do besides calling their aunt, Chris, my mom and my doctor. Like what should I tell their aunt if that happens? To just meet me at the hospital or what?

Hiya well, personally i would say if you have such a fear at the moment of HIV/STD's etc.. then you really need to sit and think about what actions while performing love making really trigger the anxiety.

Please don't lose hope, and don't hurt yourself. That horrible, deep, dark hole is the worst thing in the world. There are meds that can be taken during pregnancy; please work with your doctor. Please DO get help if it gets too bad...it's alway available, not something to fear or be ashamed of...short term hospitalization could help get a treatment plan for your pregnancy in place while you stay safe. Take care. Let us know how you're doing. I care.

For the last few months i have not been able to drive a car it fees like my brain isnt picking up on things as fast as they are coming at me. My vision feels off really bad. Also I constantly have fear for some reason. For instance if i see a shadow in my field of veiw and can't figure out what it is i freak out bit, or if there is a smell that is stuck in my nose i freak out.

m becoming housebound because of my fear of driving. I just got on my husbands insurance and am thinking of going to the doctor. Though, I'm afraid it's not anxiety and it will not be diagnosed easily. I just want this to be over. I want to be normal!

t you get a dashboard camera (you could probably use your smartphone if it has enough memory). Record yourself driving. When you feel this fear, check the video and you will see that you have not hot anyone. At first, try driving for a short distance and then check the video. Then try driving a longer distance. You will be doing some self-exposure therapy and will have solid evidence that nothing bad has happened. Hang in there!

Boy, can I relate!! MANY of us can! This goes hand in hand with panic. " I am known as the "back roads" queen because I can get to just about anywhere on small streets and county roads. I always feel like I need to have a place I can pull over". Me too! LOL. I HATE highways. I explored this fear with my therapist years ago, and she explained to me that the fear stems from our basic fear of becoming "trapped" somewhere, with no option of "escape".

I also had an fear of driving, I was so afraid I would have an anxiety attack while I was driving that I was petrified to drive. I was a regular commuter for many many years, and hour or more each way to and from work. This fear hit me all of the sudden one day, I had my first anxiety attack at work, and it was such a horrible feeling, that I was afraid I would have another one anywhere I was, in the car, at a store, at a party, anywhere......

I stop pumping when I feel full enough. Although I am often tempted to continue, feeling no real pain, I stop, for fear of damaging something. It sometimes happens to me, after having evacuated all the air in me, to feel a slight pain a little higher, at the level of the chest. I suspect it's just due to my stomach being compressed, but I'm not completely sure either.
