"I am so scared in case I fall off my chair."

"I am so scared in case I fall off my chair."

I heard the sentence and I heard that we can replace if with in case. Do you agree with this or is there a nuance between them? Thank you so much as usual.

"In case" cannot be used there. That is for prevention. "I have put my helmet on in case I fall off my chair." There are times when you can use "if" in place of "in case", for exam
