Do I have a pill phobia?
7 Answers
Why can't I swallow tablets without choking or gagging, it doesn't make sense as I know I swallow much larger pieces of food without any difficulty. Do I have a tablet phobia and does anyone else have one too?

It is most certainly psychological as our natural defense tells us not to swallow anything solid that has not been chewed! Take your time when doing it. There are many techniques to help this:-
swallow the pill with a little bit of water
take a sip of water first before putting the pill in the mouth
Also one of the best things to do is swallow it with a spoonfull of yoghurt instead. The thickness of the yoghurt helps alot! Try all of these honestly. Try and say to yourself when swallowing its only a little bit of solid, i can swallow this if i chose to.
