Swallowing is a natural act.

This reflex occurs during the meal to swallow food and drink, but also several times a day to swallow saliva.

If for the majority of people this is done in an unconscious and spontaneous way, it is not the same for everyone.

Some people dread this act at the highest point, living with the fear of swallowing.

We are talking about phagophobia.

The fear of swallowing is most often manifested for solid foods.

More precisely, it is the fear of suffocation that arises: the fear of “swallowing askew”, with the food that would remain stuck, entrenched, and causing death.

This phobia most often arises after having experienced such an episode of suffocation.

The risk of imminent death and the feelings of embarrassment felt then aroused extremely strong emotions, which strongly permeated the reptilian brain, to the point of emotional blockage.

Since then, the fear of swallowing has resurfaced again and again, rekindling the still difficult memory of the situation that triggered the phobia of swallowing.

However, it is possible to allay your fears, until you completely and completely overcome your fear of swallowing and choking while eating.
