What causes Aichmophobia ( fear of needles)?!
Question: Ever since I was younger when I went to the doctor for a shot I would always feel dizzy and some times pass out awaking in a hot sweat. I use to be upset when my mom would tell doctors that I had a fear of needles because to me it wasn't a fear of the shot. What did I have to be afraid of..the pain? NO it doesn't hurt. But I could never figure out why I feel the way I do when I would get injections or see other people get shots. Is this really a phobia of mine and what causes it? And why does it help if I lie down while taking a shot?

just brave it out. it will only take a few seconds. just hold on to something tight and take it like a man!!
Don't know, but I've never liked anything that looks like it could hurt me. Its normal.
I had a traumatic experience with needles while in a hospital for apendicitis if I was affraid of them before that today I got panic if I have to be shot
No... I've never had a problem with needles, be them from a shot or a tattoo. I have full sleeve tats on both arms, two on my neck, and one on my chest.
