What Causes Feeling Suffocated In Crowdy Areas?
I have a problem which is may be suffocation. when I am in the crowd of buses and trains I feel very uncomfortable and I feel shortage of oxygen arround me. What is the reason? Is it any bad sign or what..?But one day in this situation I distracted my mind from that situation and started thinking of some movie video... And in that day I used to survive from that situation. Can you describe the reason of this problem ?

Hello,
I think your problem is agoraphobia. In this there is a fear of being in places from where escape is difficult or crowded places like market, bus, train. When the person gets into such situations, he develops symptoms of anxiety lije palpitations, choking, sweating, tremors, fainting etc.
You must visit your nearest psychologist for behaviour therapy like systematic de sensitization.
Thanks.
