Fear Of Choking Ireland
Hi, my name is Paul Hunter. If you’ve googled “fear of choking” and you want to know how to overcome this terrible fear, then you’ve come to the right page.
I am a Clinical Hypnotherapist, CBT Practitioner and Life Coach. For the past fifteen years, I have been helping people from all over Ireland to finally overcome their fear of choking.
This fear can cause you to:
- avoid eating certain cereals in case on of the small “bits” would go down the wrong way
- shy away from crusts like on bread rolls
- say no to “flaky” food items like pastries
- develop a fear of going to the dentist because of not being able to swallow properly duing the procedure
- refuse MRI scans because of having to lie on you back and be unable to sit upright if you did happen to choke
- avoid going to the doctor in case you’d be prescribed large pills to swallow
In certain severe cases. people can refuse to eat solid food and end up effectively liquidising their food.

Common Fear Of Choking Anxiety Signs
- Do you tense up at the idea of swallowing?
- Are you a bit uptight if there's too much saliva?

- Do the muscles in your throat tighten up?
- Have you avoided eating in front of people?
- Are you a bit paranoid about taking pills?
Why Do I Have A Fear Of Choking?
The most common reason for people having a fear of choking is some traumatic experience with food. So, have you:
- choked on food when you were younger and got a fright, maybe thinking that you couldn’t breathe so therefore you were going to die?
- had a traumatic experience in a dentists chair where you were producing too much saliva and the suctioning instrument was imply not doing a good job so therefore you thought you were going to choke to death?
- had post-nasal drip and then had to lie on your back (eg. in an MRI machine) and were afraid you were going to choke and wouldn’t be able to sit upright?
