Panic, thinking about happening can make it happen, mucus dripping down the back of your throat from your nose can make it happen.

It happens to me if I don't blow my nose right after eating, and every morning.

Also eating too rich food or eating before bed can cause similar sypmtoms.
Could be heart burn or indigestion.

Could also be hay fever. That's what's hitting me right now.

But yeah, almost any part of your body can feel wrong if you focus on it hard enough.

[it sounds like] it's from allergies. I had it when I was young- my youngest has it now he's 13 I had it from age 14 to 25. [consult your doctor about] taking a decongestant as well as a antihistamine. Do not take the non-drowsy type, the won't work for this.
