Pnigophobia
or Pnigerophobia,
is a fear of choking or
being smothered! This phobia can include choking on food, such
as fish bones, or smoking. A person with this fear might avoid
smoky places or people who smoke. They also might try to avoid
wrapping up in heavy quilts and going outside on humid days because
this can cause a labored breathing. Symptoms could include
shaking or increased heart rate when around something that might
cause you to choke or be smothered. |
