Suggest Treatment For Vertigo Symptoms While Driving
I experience vertigo-like symptoms (heart races, cold sweat, dizziness and tense muscles) when driving over bridges. Once I crest the highest point of the bridge and begin my decent, I feel a major rush of relief. Is there a medication I could take to control these symptoms and still be able to drive?

Hi
I am Dr Mittal.
I have read your query.
I think I can help you.
The symptoms of the query are actually quite suggestive of anxiety, and possibly fear of heights.
Do you have a fear of falling, or similar vertiga when standing at the top of a building?
The best treatment for this is behavioral therapy.
You will need to meet a behavioral therapist in your area for the same.
I have tried to make it as simple as possible.
Please feel free to ask a further clarification.
Best of luck
Dr Mittal
