Fear of flying

Often people have a sickening feeling when they get on a plane. Although the flight is statistically the safest means of transport, However, especially after significant aircraft accidents, it is difficult for many to give up control and confide in the pilot and the machine.

People who fear flying are so terrified that they do not tolerate the situation or do so only with agony. Just the thought of flying generates nervousness and sweats.

Not all people who fear flying are inevitably afraid of a crash. There are different reasons why people fear flights:

  • Some suffer from the fear of lack of space or heights.
  • Others are afraid of the technology and complexity of an aircraft.
  • Others have problems confiding their good to another person, in this case, the pilot.
  • Others still had bad flying experiences due to turbulence or having to restart a machine when approaching. In such cases, fear of flying results from the expectation that similar terrifying events will occur again on the next flight.

Physical symptoms from the fear of flying

Flying is very uncomfortable for people with the fear of flying, mainly because of the noticeable physical symptoms.

  • Faster heartbeats and
  • Quick and flat breathing
  • Dizziness and suffocation may occur.
  • Muscles tighten.
  • Symptoms include diarrhea and urinary urgency,
  • Stomach pain,
  • Trembling and
  • Weak knees.

The closer your flight gets, the more robust the physical symptoms become. The person concerned mistakenly perceives these signs as a threat. Frequently, people then feel their heartbeat beating faster and interpret this falsely as a sign of imminent danger.

Negative thoughts and selective perception

Negative thoughts initiate the vicious circle of fear. Even before the flight, the victims are thinking of various scenarios of what could go wrong. It is through these thoughts alone that the pulse rises. The affected person interprets the body changes as a threat. The fear becomes stronger.

If a plane accident happens somewhere, people who fear flying evaluate this as a confirmation of their fears. They do not realize that most flights are going well as the focus is on the negative exceptions. Experts refer to this phenomenon as selective perception.

Avoid flying

The fear of flying is so unpleasant that many would instead not do it. However, avoiding the feared situation would only sustain the concern and may even increase it. People who avoid flying out of fear do not experience that nothing terrible happens to them on the plane. Many know that their concerns are exaggerated, but that does not change the phobia. Only by confronting the dreaded situation can you overcome the fear of flying.

Symptoms of a panic attack

A fear of flying can swing so much that those affected suffer a panic attack. In a panic attack, the concern is even more intense. Often, sufferers also fear to die from physical symptoms. Difficulty in breathing, heart palpitations, feelings of suffocation as well as dizziness and fainting can be signs of a panic attack. These seizures usually reach their peak after ten minutes and then fade away. They cause significant discomfort and fear of another attack.
