Does fear of heights mean fear of falling ?

I can't explain this feeling .But I am afraid of heights especially where there is windy.I can't even go some buildings which are not so high.It gets so hard to go there.:o

I have seen people who share the same fears as you do. The fear of heights is not very uncommon, but the lack of proper treatment is. Proper care taking person can make you lose your fear with a personal touch.

Hmm, i do not have that phobia...
But fear og heights means that you are probably scared of heights because you might fall down. I dont know since i do not have this phobia.

I think you are suffering from phobia of heights. If you avoid places not to have anxiety or fear, it will make it worse. You will have to go to such places as in graded exposure to the heights to get rid of your phobia. Talk to your doctor who might be able to help you with referral to appropriate therapist.

I have seen so less people who do not have a fobia from height as we try to stand on a place which is at great height from ground then immeditely it comes in our mind about the resultss after faaling from there, actually it is the fear of death.

I have a lot of fear to stand at a high altitude & always think that next moment i will fell down.I am afraid to visit high altitude places & especially where gusty wind flows.

The fear of heights is the feeling that one cannot share with others or describe.
The mental state of the person gets worse when he stands at high altittudes & even he faints.

Fear of heights, yes is fear of falling. It is a natural reaction of surviving your body triggers to show you that you are in danger.
