Have you ever felt your heart drop and your breath catch the moment you stepped into an elevator, or had your entire body freeze at the sight of a tiny insect? While others seem unaffected, if your heart races and cold sweats break out in front of a specific trigger, it may not be mere timidity; it could be a phobia. Shall we examine the mistaken signals your heart sends together today?

Does your heart pound and do cold sweats break out whenever you give a presentation? Have you ever suffered indigestion because you felt people watching you while you ate lunch? Have you found yourself repeatedly avoiding social plans and keeping your head down even on the subway due to this anxiety? For anyone going through such a difficult time, I hope this column offers you warm comfort.
