"I was so afraid, I couldn't go through with the procedure," he said.
Emory University Psychology professor Dr. Barbara Rothbaum said Chesley is likely on the low end of the claustrophobia spectrum.
"I have had people who couldn't go to the restroom with the door closed because they didn't want to be closed in that way," she said. "They also couldn't go to public restrooms unless they had the space at the bottom, so they can crawl out."
