Dysphexia

Dysphexia is an ambiguous medical term cited by U.S. federal government forms such as the SF-256 as an example of a gastroenterologic disease. The absence of the term in medical dictionaries or in other medical lexicons suggests that the word may be a widely propagated typographical error and misspelling of the term dysphagia or else an intentionally miscrafted term by the creator of such forms. The term is sometimes used as a condition in its own right.
It appears to be derived from the Greek dys meaning bad or disordered, whereas "phex" does not appear to correspond to a Greek root.

Signs and symptoms
As dysphexia does not correspond with a known medical condition or sign or symptom, it is unclear as to what signs and symptoms are representative or associated with dysphexia.
