Why Do Humans Experience Fear of Airplanes?

People who are afraid of flying often experience a wide range of symptoms that includes; shortness of breath, tightness in the chest, anxiety, trembling, heart palpitations, dizziness, lightheadedness and many other things. There are many theories behind what causes this type of problem but there is no sure shot way to say what it is. Most doctors agree that this is caused by the “fight or flight” response that occurs when the body gets ready to respond to danger, which is what happens during flight. When you get this kind of reaction, the brain releases a large amount of neurohormones, a few of which are considered very addictive and can cause problems with their long-term use.

The reason that most people that are afraid of flying tend to have fear-related behaviors is due to how a fear of airplanes will change your brain wave patterns for the next several hours. For instance, if someone has ever had an anxiety attack before they have flown on an airplane, they will have much different brain waves than someone who has not had these types of experiences, and this will have very serious implications when you’re put into a potentially dangerous situation… If the flight simulation starts with your mind telling you that you have a fear of airplanes then most likely that is what you will experience. However, there is no reason to be afraid of airplanes; most people have this fear to a far greater extent than planes actually do.

One reason that many people experience a fear of planes is because they have been brought up around them and not let go of that phobia, even though they have never actually been in an airplane. Other people experience this fear because they have been on a flight simulator in which case it is likely that they were repeatedly scared throughout the experience. This is one of the main reasons why people experience a panic attack when put into an actual airplane cockpit; they do not want to be in the same exact place as the actual cockpit crew and are over anxiety.
