@Gigi1010: There are two possibilities:
"Altitude sickness" is a physical illness caused by lack of oxygen. Mountain climbers sometimes suffer from it.
"Fear of heights" is a mental condition which could be called "irrational fear of heights". That means someone has a phobia** about heights which are quite normal.
**a phobia is a physical, paralysing fear of something that is not threatening. It is a mental condition with physical symptoms.
