While I'm awake,in the day,I feel saliva go down my windpipe and I choke on it so severely that I cant breathe. Sometimes I need my inhaler. Thoughts?
I woke up and accidentally inhaled a good chunk of my saliva and I would violently cough for a good minute, but I would still cough very often afterwards becuase it feels like it's in my lungs?
Several times I have choked on my saliva until I passed out. I happens when I attempt to take a breath and saliva is inhaled into my windpipe. I will cough for 15 seconds or less before I pass out. What would cause this? It has happened to me 3 times?
Can you inhale your saliva and be okay? I'm worried about getting secondary drowning from laughing and accidentally inhaling my saliva. I had a lot.
