I have started to choke spontaneously on my own saliva. Anyone else?

Oh my, I have just turned 60, the same thing happens to me, choking on my own saliva, I am waiting to see a ent, I also loose my voice and get hoarse every once in a while. I can't sing as good as I used to either, lost my vocal range, I can't call out loud. I had it looked at 3 years ago all was fine, but I have been diagnosed with acid reflux but silent reflux, no heartburn or belching. I sometimes sniffle in my sleep and wake up with a very bad headache. No one seems to be able to help me. I have been put on proton pump inhibitors.

Sounds like you have Barrett’s osophagus

I feel for all of you. I “suffer” with much of the same symptoms. Diagnosis the same except I also have allergies and sinus issues, for which k take Xyzal. Could that be a contributing factor to your symptoms?
I was on PPIs for years and my primary care just took me off them and replaced with Pepcid 20 mg 2x/day. I’m glad to be off omeprazole but none of my symptoms have improved. Sorry I have no answers. There sure are a lot of us raspy-voiced, phlegmy, chronic coughers out there. Hope the medical world finds something for us.
