re: Getting vertigo when driving over big bridges?

A lot of people in here need to sack up. I love driving in the right lane across the old bridge in Baton Rouge. You can see down and it’s almost like there’s no guardrail.

I've been dealing with vertigo all morning

I kind of get it when I drive up high mountains.

My first experience of this type was on a ski lift. Even though I was not high off the ground being able to see down the mountain freaked me out.

I developed a fear of bridges while crossing in Mobile as I approached the curve on the East side. A fatal falling accident had happened recently at work so the doc prescribed Lexapro, he said trauma was inducing panic.

I do occasionally still feel a cold chill in my spine as I go over but I have trained myself to focus on the lane marking line and not look away if the panic sets in. I know I can follow that line on flat ground. The old Rainbow Bridge is a no go for me

I wouldn't say that I have any trouble going over bridges, but I do occasionally have bad dreams about them .... like going up the bridge at too fast a speed and never coming down.
