What are the symptoms of astraphobia?

Like other phobias, the main symptom of astraphobia is overwhelming fear. Many people are aware that the fear they feel is not proportional to a storm’s actual threat. But it can be difficult to manage symptoms.

The anxiety you might experience with astraphobia can cause physical symptoms, such as:

• Chest pain.
• Dizziness or fainting (syncope).
• Diarrhea.
• Heart racing or heart palpitations.
• Nausea or vomiting.
• Shortness of breath (dyspnea).
• Sweating.
• Tremors (uncontrollable shaking).
