Suggest Remedy For Choky Feeling On Esophagus

Hi, I ve been getting a chokey feeling on the right side of my esophagus for years. It d happen just a few times a year, now its a few times a week! It feels like a patch that is crackingly dry but when I drink water or an oilier substance to coat it, it does no good. It makes me choke so bad I can t talk and tears run down.... I have tried an inhaler but it doesn t do anything. I am having a hard time as I consult with patients all day! any ideas? Debra
