A member asked:

Could vertigo cause fear of heights?

Dr. Bernard Seif answered

Specializes in Clinical Psychology

The two conditions: you mention can be linked. After your doc has ruled out any medial conditions, you can see a clinical psychologist who does exposure therapy for help. Make sure you find a well trained one, e.g., who is board certified or belongs to the Exposure and Ritual Prevention organization. Peace and good health.
