Frequent suffocation occurs
Hello Doctor, l have stomach bloating problem for several years. After diagnosis, doctor told me that l have acid reflux. In recent days l encountered a new problem. Whenever l eat chocolates, drink coffee or any other sweet content, l feel something is stuck in throat and feel suffocated. There is an urge to clear my throat with vibrant sound. It happens only after eating sweet items. I also noticed that cough occurs only when l am about sleep. Today, l felt sever suffocation after drinking black tea. I also experience that there is something wrong or unusual with my throat. Is it the cause of acid reflux or anything serious?
