Chocking coughing
I have had intermittent episodes of throat irritation followed by coughing and a choking sensation since 2020. During episodes, breathing feels as if it does not clear properly, sometimes making me feel I may collapse, but it settles after some time. Episodes are more frequent in the morning/before 2 PM and may be triggered by going outdoors, balcony exposure, trees, dust, pollution, or humid/rainy weather. No usual chest pain or wheezing. Sometimes episodes occur after brushing teeth in the morning. I had an HRCT chest in Sept 2020 for similar symptoms. I would like evaluation for allergy, asthma/airway hyperreactivity, laryngeal sensitivity, post-nasal drip, reflux, or other airway problems.

It could be angioedema.
Ever time you are getting exposed to allergen, you are having recurrence of these symptoms.
Check your histamine levels and IgE levels.

The HRCT is normal, but the choking and coughing episodes need evaluation for asthma or other related causes.
Please consult me for a proper assessment and appropriate tests and an individualized treatment plan.
