Q: Loud breathing and trouble swallowing

Hi,
This is really hard to explain, but for the past 2 years I have had breathing problems, and more recently swallowing problems.
It's not that I can't swallow food, its more about saliva. I can swallow, but I have to think about it, and sometimes force myself to. I HAVE to always have water with me, even if I'm getting the mail, or else I can't swallow and it gets stuck right before I can swallow it. My breathing is totally weird. It's loud, and sometimes it changes. One hour it is out my mouth-heavy breathing, one moment it's quiet but still heavy. And just this past month I sometimes feel like I'm going to stop breathing, like I'm tired of it, but I'm not! And I'm always out of breath, sometimes I can barely talk. It's all so scary, and I just want answers. I've gone to an ENT and he hasn't helped one bit. I'm thinking it's more respiratory or lung issues? Please Help Me!

This the third super bad sore throat I have had since I started on the Gleevec for my hpereosinophilia. It starts out as a super bad super sorethroat and then the coughing starts. I am so sick amd tired of being sick and tired. I do not have tonsils. My boss is starting to doubt me and I do not blame her.
