Phobia

Anyone know if there is a specific phobia for a fear of underground or being buried alive or something?

I suppose it's similar to Claustrophobia but if you take me for example:
I'm not uncomfortable in crowded areas or in lifts, closets, aeroplanes etc. However, I am uncomfortable going under beds (when I was small) or being in underground tunnels and especially, when I was in a history park I was in a Souterrain (cant spell that), which is a very small underground tunnel with a tiny room, I got seriously freaked out. Even the thought of going into a mine is enough to make me need large breaths of air.
I think it's a fear of suffocation or something.

I searched online but I can't find any name for it.
