Choking on your own

I get this with juices from chewing gums or sweets or saliva.
When this happens to me, I cant breath at all, all i do is hoop in air, sounds awful and scarey, it happened at my son's and he was going to call the ambulance.
I too think this is how I am going to die one day.
It really scares me and no one seem to be able to help.
It happens when i am on my own too, you cant call 999 because you cant speak, getting help is no good because there is nothing they can do as it is not a piece of food trapped.
I just hope one day someone will know how to help us as it is so scarey.

Stay away from the triggers - also, next time you see a DR - ask if you could be allergic to something which is causing this.

Is it with products that contain artificial sweetener, like aspartame? Some people have difficulties with these.
