First: First schedule appointments with both your Dentist and your Physician to rule out physical cause. Specialist referrals (ENT, Oral Surgeon, Neurologist, etc) may be required. If no physical cause, then explore psychological cause. Let your MD/DO guide you.

GERD: Many people that have acid reflux symptoms (GERD) feel like like they are going to gag when I swallow. See your PCP for consultation and tests.
