You must have felt claustrophobic and that abnormal fear has triggered something in your constitution that was fear-prone. So if you had the disposition to fear, this event would have stimulated it. You must learn how to handle your emotions, especially your fear. If there is fear from childhood that has not been properly resolved, then you will be susceptible. So if you can identify that infancy event then it is possible to resolve it through therapy. Otherwise also if your constitution is not strong for various reasons, then too you can become susceptible. Essentially, if you exercise regularly, sleep well, eat healthily, and stay stress-free you will have a solid constitution.
