My esophagus has beenspasming for over 8 hrs. i keep regurgitating my saliva. cant swallow. what can i do to make it stop until i can see my doctor?

Go to ER: You need to go to er now. You can not wait to see your doctor. You are high risk for aspiration pneumonia to occur especially if you are choking on your secretions. Hope all goes well.
