Phagophobia is a psychogenic
dysphagia, a fear of
swallowing. It is expressed in various swallowing complaints without any apparent physical reason detectable by physical inspection and laboratory analyses. An obseolete term for this phobia is choking phobia, but it was suggested that the latter term is confusing and it is necessary to distinguish the fear of swallowing (i.e., of the propulsion of
bolus) from fear of choking (fear of aspiration).
