What Are The Chances Of Medication Entering The Lungs?

I take melatonin quite often, and I also suffer from GERD. Lately, I have been swallowing pills like melatonin, and they don t feel normal. Is there a possibility that they are going down my trachea, instead? would that invoke an immediate choke/gag, or could it skip down all the way to the lungs?
