On three separate occasions when she was out in public over the past three months, Vanessa has had to rush home after being overwhelmed by dizzy spells during which her heart pounded and she felt as if she couldn't breathe. On the last occasion she went to the emergency room but a thorough examination ruled out any medical problem. Nevertheless, Vanessa has become increasingly fearful about having more episodes and she has restricted her activities to only the most essential outings. Vanessa seems to be displaying symptoms of which of the following psychological disorders?

A.) erythrophobia
B.) generalized anxiety disorder
C.) social phobia
D.) agoraphobia

Answer: I would say erythrophobia

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the more fearful she gets the worse it is, and one of the few self-perpetuating phobias, meaning that the more you worry, the more likely you are to experience your object of fear. Hope this helps :/
