Do you remember choking episode while swallowing chewing the gum?Choking is more sensitive clue to aspiration of contents into windpipe.Post choking you might feel tightness in chest,shortness of breath temporarily.Only way to confirm whether you have aspirated is to take a ct scan of chest.Anxiety also can also cause an asthma attack.If you are on anti asthmatic inhalers i recommend you to use it if there is difficulty in breathing and consult your doctor if needed.
