You may develop emotional symptoms, you will feel a sense of panic when you realize you are high off the ground. You will start to search for something to hold onto and you will find that you’re unable to trust your sense of balance. 

Physical symptoms: you may start sweating, shaking, heart palpitations, cry or yell out for help when you are high up. You can begin to feel paralyzed and/or terrified.

The situation can be safe if you take the normal precautions, but if you handle it poorly, panicking can lead you to make unsafe decisions. It is asked that if you have Acrophobia, to get it treated as soon as possible, only if heights are part of your day to day schedule. ]]> 2019-02-15 17:20:31 UTC https://padlet.com/kcampos9025/cj4jz7s861m7/wish/331826741
