Believe me it can happen to you, its not fun.
I fly a ton and get it...

Don't take the drug, you actually get worse over time (if it is a narcotic that gets you wasted). That's cause you never actually "deal with it" to get better.

A beta blocker drug is much better, you don't get stoned, but your body is still calm and doesn't over react.

I had to fly a Delta crj 700 from PWM to ATL. 3 hours with no e+ on a full plane, window seat!! That was pretty brutal. I looked like a praying mantis trying to type on my laptop scrunched between my legs and chin.

I don't normally get claustraphobic but I was starting to on that one.
