Help! I have had 5 of these in the past 2 days. After drinking a glass of water, my windpipe stayed closed and I began to panic. My airway is completely closed off and I am gasping for air. During this spasm, while I am in total panic, gasping and not able to breathe, is there any method known to stop this or to at least to help me be able to get air into my lungs? It usually lasts about 15 seconds and then I get a little gasp a few times then a few larger gasps, then after about 2 minutes, I can breath normal. Please help is anyone out there may know a way to get this under control.

I am going to see a doctor about this, I heard they can watch your swallow process under x-ray and determine what is malfunctioning. I had an operation already due to my GERD 10 years ago, and I cannot throw up due to the operation.

Thank you
