What Causes Constant Choking Of Air In The Windpipe?

Okay. I have had some issues with swallowing, with an episode happening today. It seems that I perhaps have some saliva go down my windpipe and I cannot inhale or get any air through. It s happened occasionally before, each time being scary for moments as if choking, but it s not anything in my throat. Thoughts? My older brother has had this same type of issue, as well as my mom.

without an exam, I can only give general informationcannot say in your particular case, but generally,increasing windpipe problems are the classical signof something growing in the windpipe. This is going to have to be looked at.
