Can you die from choking on spit?!


Question:

Can you die from choking on spit?

lately i've been choking on absolutely nothing.. today i was sitting there and i started choking and i tried to breathe in but i couldn't! i freaked out like i always do..this happens about 2-3 times a month. it's like i'm being strangled. i'll try to inhale but it only goes so far and it does not reach my lungs..i try to cough but i can't..because ya know how a cough comes from deep inside you? it's as if my throat is blocked off at a certain point..i always think i'll pass out. i was not doing anything when it happened..i wasnt running around or talking. i feel like an idiot when i do it b/c im gasping for breath & it looks like i'm dying..i'm pregnant so i worry i'll cut off oxygen in the baby or something..but this was going on way before i got pregnant..so what could it be? it's not asthma b/c i've been tested a few times. o and it lasts for 20-30 secs. i know i said "choking on spit"..but i dont know if it was or not.

Answers:

Yes, you can.
Pregnancy causes a bit more mucous and body fluids as bottled up inside you.

I did the same thing when I was carrying my children.
