Causes and symtoms of claustrophobia

Causes

Claustrophobia can develop from either a traumatic childhood experience (such as being trapped in a small space during a childhood game), or from another unpleasant experience later on in life involving confined spaces (such as being stuck in an elevator)









Symtoms

• sweating


• accelerated heartbeat
  
• nausea


• fainting


• light-headedness


• shaking


• hyperventilation


• a fear of actual imminent physical harm

In extreme cases, the very sight of a closed door can lead to feelings of anxiety in the individual.
