A member asked:

Car accident 8 months ago.now if in a vehicle i start sweating, shaking, heart racing, crying uncontrollably, think im going to get hit again. whats this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

PTSD: This probably involves ptsd from your previous car accident and now you have anxiety whenever you do sit in the car. This is treatable. A good therapist can help you work through this. See a psychiatrist who can also help with medication management and guide you in the right direction.
