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.

I would suggest getting your gag reflex checked. Ocassionally my throat feels like it is closing and I can't stop coughing. The Dr. gave me a pill that opens or relaxes my esophogus. It looks like a little version of vitamin E and I was told that if it popped in my mouth it would cause my throat to be temporaly paralyzed. It works..not sure what it is called, but it works! The only way I could explain it is that it feels like an asthma attack in my throat. I would also track what you eat to see if you have a food allergy. Just a few suggestions.

I am feeling the same way im  thinking it is because we might be eating to much greezy food  like yankee6262 said sometimes without even knowing .just try not to  eat alote of greesy food it kud help.some advise doctors dont aways have the answer to everything sometimes we just need  to figure it out by ourselfs because all they are doing is giving medic..to us and not all the time medic..is the solution..my advise to u is try to stay com when u feel like choking on ur saliva or just choking it does help it might be hard at the same time because some of us might go into a panik mold just relaxe and stay com and say it will be alright.try to exercis it doese help..not when choking ....just saying

I had excessive mucus in my throat for years. My hobby is singing, so you can imagine how this affected me. My cure, or 80 pct reduction is I stopped eating cheese. Dairy products seem to be the culprit. Doctor's will diagnose the problem with a cure that will help most, but not all, or subscribe meds. Try it for about two weeks by not eating eggs, and especially cheese. Think you will be pleasantly surprised. Good luck and God Bless you.

I've experiencing the same situation as you.like choking, and shortness of breath. i go to the doctor the prescribe me a proton pump inhibitor but Doesn't make sense and another doctor prescribe me a Omepron (omeprazole)  so that the acid on y body will calm. . he failed also to tell me exactly what is going on. i agree that you will stop drinking softdrink, fatty foods, oily, and spicy like what i did, i have read on this in the other website that this symptoms (choking, shrotness of breathing, acid reflux, urge to cough, heartburn and palpitations) this may be called "Gastroesophageal feflux diseas" Please let me know when you come up with a cure (vice versa).

im also experiencing this problem. i keep on *burping* or swallowing it. and its really annoying, its like i have no choice because the saliva was stuck in my throat. some times in my chest in the center.

the doctor told me that the  cause of this problem is either the mucus go down to the throat or the acid juices  in our stomach goes up.  

the doctor advised me to stop drinking softdrinks and fatty oily foods. like meat or anything that was fried.in order to cure the acid juices that goes up.

i hope this one helps . ^_^
