Caustrophobia

Caustrophobia (from Latin caustrum "a shut in place") is the fear of having no escape, and being closed in. It is typically classified as an anxiety disorder and often results in panic attack. One study indicates that anywhere from 2-5% of the world population is affected by severe caustrophobia, but only a small percentage of these people receive some kind of treatment for the disorder

Jenna S. suffers from Caustrophobia. She cannot go on elevators, or small planes because she gets caustrophobic and sick and throws up for 4 hours at a time making very loud unhealthy noises.

claustrophobia

Fear of being in enclosed spaces. Not necessarily small spaces, although many claustrophobic people don't like these much either. The main issue is being trapped in somewhere you can't get out of easily. Claustrophobic people may avoid or feel uncomfortable in situations like flying in a plane, being in the middle of a crowd, or using an elevator.

Friend: Now we just take the elevator up to the ninety-seventh floor...oh, I forgot. You've got claustrophobia. Better take the stairs then *sigh*

Me: Actually, like many others with claustrophobia I still use elevators, because we don't let it control our entire lives.
