Finding Difficulty In Being In Crowded Place. MRI Done, Normal Results. How To Overcome This?
I am finding that being in a crowed place is becoming an overwhelming experience. I have not always felt this way. We go to a large church and just walking in the foyer is overwhelming. Today I turned around and saw the place was packed and I felt like the walls were closing in. I don't like the feeling and do not want to have to change churches. Going to a mall is fine, a concert, no thanks. I can handle having my 7 grandkids around but not 7 adults in one room. I can have an MRI no problem, and ride in elevators just fine. It's the noise and confusion of large crowds that overwhelms me. How do I help myself?

Hi there, that could be related to panic attacks. When it happens, doctor check for any possible medical condition. Then if every thing is clear, he would treat for panic and fear from the crowded spaces. Best
