Causes of Panic Attack While Driving - Do You Experience It?

By Garyl Hany

Are you curious why you are always on the verge of a panic attack every time you are driving? Maybe, you are already sweating and your heart is already beating rapidly from the moment you have touched the steering wheel. This impedes your lifestyle. Though it is normal to feel fear while driving, too much fear is still not healthy for you. It can lead to a lot of psychological disorder and even panic attack.

Before you start your engine, there is already a fear that lurks inside you. The idea that you are going to drive alone can scare the hell out of you. Who knows? Panic attack might be triggered while you are driving. You might be going to crash. However, this is all in the state of mind but it might come true if the fear of panic attack is not addressed immediately. It is true that panic attack is an abrupt condition and it can be a traumatic experience. So, treat it as soon as possible.

Watching too many accidents in the movies may develop fear of the road. Obviously, you will see yourself as someone who will die due to road accidents. You will become engrossed with the idea and sooner or later, you will develop phobia.

Another fear that can enwrap you and triggers a panic attack is a fear of collision. Collision can happen any time during the road trip, from the moment you start your engine until you turn it off. During the course of the trip, you might collide with a truck or you might hit a pedestrian. These ideas are implanted either through bad experience or through media and press. From these ideas, fear will be created.

You may also have a fear of traffic: the crazy long lines of cars, the noises of the engines, the screaming of the people and too much commotion. It is really a stressing experience and just by thinking about it you might get stressed out.

In the traffic, you might get stuck and your engine might run out. People might start screaming at you and blaming you. The road is really scary, isn't it? You might even get hyperventilated in the long run and no one might able to save you. - 29881
