Anginophobia: Cause, Symptoms and treatment

Anginophobia is known by a number of names - Anginophobia, Fear of Angina, Fear of Choking, and Fear of Narrowness being the most common - the problem often significantly impacts the quality of life.

Anginophobia is defined as a persistent, abnormal, and unwarranted fear of angina, choking, or narrowness. Every year this surprisingly common phobia causes countless people needless distress - Fear of angina, choking or narrowness.

Anginophobia is common in people who has a past history of heart diseases or have experiences angina or choking. Anginophobia may also occur in people who have seen people suffering from cardiac arrest or choking.

Most of the Anginophobia treatment take months or years and sometimes even require the patient to be exposed repeatedly to their fear.

Symptoms of Anginophobia:

The symptoms include:

  • Breathlessness.
  • Nausea.
  • Feelings of dread.
  • High blood pressure.
  • Rapid breathing.
  • Irregular heartbeat.
  • Sweating.
  • Heavy breathing.
  • Anxiety.
  • Choking.

Treatment for Anginophobia:

There are a variety of effective drugs that are often prescribed for the treatment of anginophobia, but the side effects and/or the symptoms of withdrawal can be severe and dangerous. Basically, drugs do not treat the anginophobia or any other phobia. At best drugs only temporarily remove or suppress the level of the anginophobia by the chemical interaction.

The good news is that the modern, fast, drug-free processes of The CTRN Phobia Clinic will train the patient's mind to feel completely different about insanity or becoming insane, eliminating the fear so it never haunts you again.

Cause of Anginophobia:

Like all other anxiety and phobias, anginophobia is created by the unconscious mind as a protective mechanism. Anginophobia develops at some point in your past, where there was likely an event linking insanity or becoming insane and emotional trauma.

Attaching emotions to situations is one of the primary ways that humans learn. Sometimes we just get the wiring wrong. But so long as the negative association is powerful enough, the unconscious mind thinks persistently. Whilst the original catalyst may have been a real-life trauma of some kind, the condition can also be triggered by myriad, benign events like movies or perhaps seeing someone else facing/ experience trauma.

The actual phobia manifests itself in different ways. Some sufferers experience it almost all the time, others just in response to direct stimuli. Everyone has their own unique formula for when and how to feel bad.
