Along those lines, I'm convinced ham sandwiches are trying to kill me. Whether it's a tiny piece of ham, or a little bit of lettuce, something *always* ends up going down the wrong pipe. I'm trying to practice self-love not self-ham, but it's going poorly.
If it's been happening a lot, please talk to your doctor! It's not normal for that to happen regularly. It was one of the symptoms that led to my diagnosis of multiple sclerosis.
Thanks for letting me know, I’ll keep an eye on it. Although I said recently, I’ve not done it at all in the last 2-3 months, but if it starts again then I’ll go to the doctor. My family has a history of a “tight throat” (lol) so it could be something to do with that as well.
True! Happens to me every night. I lay on my back on the couch. If I nod off I'm certain to wake up choking on my own saliva..... Wife doesn't even ask if I'm okay. She doesn't look up from her book and says I fell asleep again...
I did this during the first wave of Covid. My first venture out to the corner store. Nervous, socially distanced, quiet. I go into a full on hacking fit. I then had to explain to all in line that were backing away and staring that i had in fact, inhaled my own spit. Isolation was easy after that…
Would it be a bit more humbling if I told you that was one of the symptoms I had that (eventually) led to an MS diagnosis? Please talk to your doctor if it wasn't a one-off for you.

I don't know why I am creased up laughing at this thread because it's painfully close to home.
Choking, tears streaming and peeing because I can't control swallowing my saliva wasn't amusing until now 🤣🤣🤣🤣
At least I'll die laughing if it's fatal one day 🤣🤣🤣
My brain would glitch
And every once in awhile
Id swallow my smoke
Instead of exhale
So fkn horrible
I’m a clinical massage therapist. Try doing that in the middle of a session and trying not to let your client know you’re dying…. 😔

Coughing and choking fit out of nowhere.
Wife: Are you ok?
Me:
Me:
Me: Fine... My own spit tried to choke me.
Wife, no matter how I die, my obit needs to read: Choked on own spit
