This topic is really interesting.
Can someone explain to me what vertigo is and what it feels like?
If I don't fly for two weeks I get a horrible nervy feeling as the wheels leave the ground on departure. Is this it? If I fly on a regular basis I don't get this sensation.
I too hate heights. In fact, I hate them so much that I would choose to go on the bottom deck of a bus to avoid sitting upstairs! In hinsight that wasn't a very good example as I have never been on a bus.
Crossing the channel gave me an hour of emotional hell each time I did it. I vowed to never do it again until my children are old enough not to care if I join the fish. I suppose this isn't so much of a height issue, more of a "level of acceptance of risk" issue.
Interesting stuff
