Oh, you poor thing. I choked on a marble when I was 7, and have had great difficulty eating in public ever since.
No, you can't choke on saliva, or any liquids.
You have to see this as a symptom of anxiety - quite a severe one. This fear of swallowing comes from unwanted, intrusive thoughts - and the more you worry, the more they'll happen.
Take it from me, you can beat this, but not alone. Go and see your GP - no need to be embarrassed, they've heard it all before. You can be referred to a professional to help you deal with this. You've developed a phobia, and you need to sort it out.
Good luck - I know exactly how you feel. xxxx
