PLEASE HELP!!! what's wrong with me? I keep choking on my saliva

[eastender]

hi, i was wondering whether you could offer me any advice.
basically i have a health problem and i don't know what it is or what the cure is. i was wondering whether you could possibly tell me /might know whet it is.
basically i have this problem where a few weeks back i woke up one day to find that i couldn't breathe  as my throat seemed to be blocked/closed over with mucus/saliva. i was choking and could hardly swallow the mucus in my throat down.
the only way i could clear/unblock my throat was to drink water to swallow it down. i found it impossible to cough up. the mucus also entered my nose.
i went to the doctor several times and i even went to A&E because i was so scared.
in the end the last doctor i saw gave me some tablets called 'mucodyne capsules' to take.
basically i have to take 3 a day. bascally i can breathe when i'm on these tablets, but as soon as i stop taking them/if i happen to forget to take them for a day or two then my throat starts to close over and fill up with a thick mucus again.
basically what is going on?
i know my doctor has prescribed me the mucodyn capsules and is keeping me on them but he failed to tell me exactly what it is that is wrong with me?
what is likely wrong with me?
what illness do I have???
can you possbly tell me?
i feel like i have something wrong with my throat.
what's wrong with me?
i am still taking the 'mucodyn' tablets and am seeing my doctor.
IS YOUR ADVICE FREE?
PLEASE PLEASE COULD YOU ONLY REPLY TO ME IF YOUR ADVICE/REPLY IS FREE OF COST!!!!
Thankyou.

My father and I, both, have choked on saliva. We can't breathe! Hadn't eaten anything or drank anything at the time it happened/happens.
Now that I am older, it happens when I drink WATER.
I know that I have CREST, which is an autoimmune deficiency, and a form of Scleroderma, which can affect swallowing, but Dr. has not done anything about it yet.

Wow, I am amazed to find that other people have the same problem I have. I, too, woke from a nap about 12 or 15 years ago with my throat full of --sorry, but vomit. I jumped up in a panic and tried to get it to come out but couldn't because I couldn't breathe in to cough it out. I tried throwing myself against the sink to dislodge it, and by the grace of God, it somehow sank down just enough for me to cough. That's when I realized I had acid reflux. I tried a natural remedy that worked for years, but then it became less effective and finally ineffective. One of my doctors game me the swallow test, and they said that was fine. I think it's some kind of condition they haven't recognized yet. Just before my father passed away, I spent some time with him and I saw him coughing up clear, thick, foamy saliva and kind of choking on it, and I recognized that he had what I have. Please know that you are not alone. I too worry that a little bit of my food, or drink is going down my lungs. That's how it feels sometimes. Eating late makes the reflux worse. I'm about to have my stomach acid tested. They say it actually may be too low.

Hi hydrocephalusssurvivor888,

I noticed your comment to 'girlsrule10', and I just want to offer some of my input from where I think that person is coming from...

I believe that 'girlsrule10' is actually being very compassionate and  sympathetic.... in their own way. I can definitely see where you may think they are being crude and misunderstanding, but please try and think that they are sharing immediate consolation in the form of the "you're going to be ok!!''s and trying to make this issue into something less than it may seem (whether that fact is actually true or not).

Anyway, I wish you the best with your health and recovery from your dysphagia... How awful! No one deserves to be put through anything of the such. One of my best friends is actually going through something with her esophagus and is having a hard time swallowing food... it's been very stressful and painful for her, and for me, to watch her go thru that.
Blessings to you.
