Are you afraid of heights?

I am. I take a scenic elevator and as I see myself ascend from the ground, I start feeling cold, dizzy and weak. On the road when I'm driving as much as possible I avoid fly-overs and bridges particularly those that are really high, 'coz just the sight of them make me feel like fainting. In cases when I have no choice but to go that way (fly-over or bridge) and have to endure the feeling, I run slow even when the other cars are speeding (many times I've been yelled at because of slowing down). I focus on front road and not look at the sides so I don't see how high the the place is, and pray that I get to the other end the soonest time possible (but how can it be when I actually slow down crossing the bridge or the fly-over?). I tried some coping mechanisms like closing my eyes but this is not possible when driving (of course). Does this happen to you too? How do you deal with it? Would like to know...
