Choking coughing happens
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.
