Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. It could be swallowing syncope.
2. Esophageal disorders or pharyngeal disorders sometimes is known to cause this.
3. Will require tests to assess any pathological cause. Anti-cholingergics will be useful in preventing syncope attacks. More details necessary for further opinion.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
