Suggest Treatment For Choking Sensation In The Throat Along With Difficulty In Breathing
Hi Dr this happens random. I may be sitting and watching tv and all of a sudden my saliva tickles my throat and this leads to choking. It is very scary. It could happen 6 to 7 times a year. When it does happen I just can t breathe. I am 65 years old in very good health.
