Weird breathing thing.

During the winter months, I suffer from this annoying breathing problem. It's most troublesome when I wake up, or coming indoors from being outside.

Basically, whenever I breathe in, I have to swallow straight away. If I don't, I can't exhale or inhale anymore and just stop breathing. I don't have a clue what sets it off, or why it happens, but it is realy annoying and kinda worries me sometimes, but I don't realy conisder it a serious threat or anything so I havnt bothered seeing a doctor. I've searched around the net but can't realy find anything about it.

Is this common, and does anyone know what actualy causes it?

    Is the feeling also when you do try to swallow, you have trouble doing so?

    Sometimes. There's almost a delayed reaction between me wanting to swallow, and it actualy happening.

    I have had it before, I dont know what the medical name is though. It could be your throat is abit dry. I sometimes got it when I was eating if I remember rightly.

    Horrible feeling.

    May even be a slight case of anxiety.
