What Causes Difficulty In Breathing While Swallowing Saliva?

It's been getting really hard to breathe for me lately and everytime I try to swollow my saliva I seem to have some sort of pressure trying to push it back up. It all depends on what I'm trying to do with my throat or the position of it. Could this be asthma?
