I choke on my saliva a lot. i stop breathing and pass out then wake up a few seconds later. my wife is concerned. what is wrong?

Choking on saliva: Isn't something i would expect in a middle aged male. If you are passing out and your breathing stops, you must see a doctor immediately for an evaluation and treatment if indicated.
