Did Jimmy character have vertigo or acrophobia in the Hitchcock movie Vertigo?

The character of John "Scottie" Ferguson in Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo suffers from acrophobia, the fear of heights. This is a central element of the film's plot, as it both hinders Scottie's ability to follow the case he's been hired for and drives the narrative towards its dramatic climax.

It's important to note that vertigo is not the same as acrophobia.

* Acrophobia is a psychological fear of heights.

* Vertigo is a medical condition that can cause a sensation of dizziness, disorientation, and a feeling of spinning, often triggered by specific movements or stimuli.

While Scottie's acrophobia may cause him to experience some of the symptoms associated with vertigo, it's not the same condition. He is specifically terrified of heights, and this fear is a key driver of the film's plot.
