What Causes Soreness In The Throat?
I have choked on my own saliva quite a few times now. It seems to last for about 3 minutes, and I am gasping for breath, this has been happening for quite a few years. I have been to the dr about it, and he fobbed it off. I actually happened last night which is very frightening, my throat is just so sore today. I spoke about it at work today and someone said it used to happen to their mother and it had to do with thiroid. is this possible?

Hi
Welcome to HealthcareMagic forum
The symptoms described by you seems to be of Laryngopharyngeal Reflux secondary to Acid reflux. I doubt thyroid related issues. Best, is to get your larynx examined by your doctor.
Avoid coffee/tea, smoking and alcohol (if any). Drink plenty of water.
Regards
