Read the text. Then choose the correct: . answer to questions 34-36. Most people are unaware of the fact that a new ailment has developed among subway users. Called "subway syndrome", it causes people to turn pale and cold and even to faint. Commuters misdiagnose the symptoms—acute chest pains and nausea-and rush to hospital emergency rooms in the belief that they are about to succumb to a heart attack. Hearing that their heart attack is only a case of nerves makes them feel better.
What makes people get sick on subways? Various and sundry things. One is that they rush off to work in the morning without having eaten a proper breakfast. Sudden dizziness attacks them. A second cause Is the overcrowding and ensuing feeling of claustrophobia, which brings on stress and anxiety. In addition, they are so afraid of mechanical failure, fire, and / or crime that they show signs of panic - men by having chest pains and women by becoming hysterical. Contributing especially to their stress are other factors: overcrowding of both men and women, continual increase in the numbers of passengers, and people's inability to avoid interacting with strangers.
