Perhaps anxiety: People who struggle with anxiety often find that, from time-to-time, they have an overly responsive gag reflex. The esophageal constriction may also cause the person to hold their breath longer, but because the focus is on the swallowing. Because people don't really breath while swallowing, this may create a fear of choking or suffocating. Start by ruling out asthma or physical possibilities.
