Question: Should I listen to these pharmacists!?!? Or go to the hospital!?
About an hour ago I accidently inhaled my spit, a little bit I think and I had a huge argument with my mom cause I wanted to go to the hospital to be safe but she kept saying if I can talk i am fine and I was I was screaming at her for a half an hour and she stillwouldnt take me cause she thought it was ridiculous and the only thing icould do was call a pharmacist and I called 3 walgreens and they all said I should be fine, I dont sound like I can't breath when iwas talking to them and it should get out of my system on its own since its musus or something!.!.
but I feel short of breath but I'm not sure If its my mild anxiety!. But I always get out of breath and get a heavy chest with anxiety!.

Answers:
Listen to the pharmacists!. Listen to me!. I am an RN, and I assure you that you will be fine, and that it is the anxiety that is affecting your breathing!. You aspirated some saliva into your upper respiratory tract!. It will be coughed out, and other mechanisms in your airway will propell the saliva to your throat to be swallowed or coughed out!. Go to bed knowing you are fine!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You will be fine, don't waist the time and money of a hospital on something so ridicules!. The pharmacist is right!.
You are just worried, its nothing to do with the spit!. Just calm down and try to forget about it and your breathing will go back to normal!. Try listing to some music or taking a bath!. And of course sleep!
If your still worried you could try going to a walk in clinic tomorrow!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

I have had that happen before too!
You sound anxious and maybe that makes you feel more panicked!. Do you have panic attacks!? Calm down!. You are talking and breathing and obviously well enough to be on the computer!.
Lay down, take slow deep breaths, listen to some quiet music to get your mind off of it!. Please don't scream at your mom!. You are just getting yourself worked up!.
Maybe you should talk to your doctor if you are experiencing problems with anxiety!. Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Pharmacists are medically trained and require a great deal of schooling if they are registered pharmacists!. That said, they are not medical doctors!. If you are not directly observed by a medically trained person, they may not be in a good position to give you accurate medical advice!.
My personal opinion (I am a rocket designer who has suffered a number of panic/anxiety attacks) is that you need to calm down, spit out any mucous that you can, and get some rest!. If you are relatively young and generally in good health, it is very unlikely that swallowing your spit will cause you any life threatening problems!. Good luck!.!.!. take a deep breath!.!.!. focus on some positive aspect of your life!.!.!.!. the anxiety will pass!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Look up aspirational pneumonia on WebMD or Google or something!. It's a very dangerous condition caused by inhaling small particles deep into your lungs!. Anyone who gets this could die a painful and difficult death!.

Now, read very carefully: you don't have this!. You're not gonna die from choking on some saliva, even if it isn't your own!. You posted fourteen hours ago!. If you're still breathing, go apologize to your mother for letting her down!. I'm sure she didn't plan to have a moron!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You need to get yourself together, and have some confidence!. The inhalation of saliva is not serious and will be absorbed harmlessly, especially because it was of you, and not something external, like a beverage or food, or chemical!. I know it is very uncomfortable!.

But you will be okay!. I'm sure you throat is inflamed now from coughing, and it is hard for you to tell what is causing the discomfort!.

When everything settles down, look in the mirror or see your doctor about possible tonsil stones - unless inhaling your sputum was just an accident!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
