I have a bit similar to you Constable Savage - although not as severe I suppose. I had to give up competitive shooting as I just couldn't stand the leather straps wrapped round your body shooting rifle, and working under a sink or a car dashboard makes me feel physically ill.
Oddly, caves and lifts etc don't bother me in the slightest - it's restriction of physical movement that gets me. If I wasn't mad when you put me in a straightjacket I would be shortly afterwards....

Acrophobia but more the urge to "toss myself off" (the building/cliff) which I have controlled so far. Claustrophobia is my more common weakness as I can't even watch someone potholing on telly.
I used to have to do CBRN training which involved wearing multiple layers and a gas-tight mask which restricts your breathing a bit. Then the trainers would get you running or playing football in all the kit which makes the breathing worse. I gave it up after three years of missing out on a night's sleep the night before a training day caused by thinking about it.
I get panicky if my boots are too tight or I can't get my sweatshirt over my head.
