What is actually happening when we feel a tingling sensation or an urge to jump for people who are afraid of heights? Why is it hard to want to look over the edge of something that is tall?

That is the sensation of your pituitary gland dumping all the adrenaline into your blood stream causing your skin capillaries to contract. (Blood draining from face) to keep it away from the surface and in the core of you body where you need it.

Contraction of bowl and bladder muscles. (Pee and poo yourself) so you don’t waste resources on carrying stuff around when you need to run for your life.

And increases heart rate to crank up metabolism so you can run for your life.
