Should I Be Concerned About Choking On My Own Saliva When Suffering From Cold/sinusitis?

Hi, I do have a cold and I do have sinusitis. I once in awhile do choke on my own saliva. sometimes at rest sometimes when I am sitting on a chair. my question is what is going on and should i be really concerned about it, enough to go see my own dr.? I'm 46yrs old.

Hello

It is unlikely that the choking by your saliva is related to your sinusitis, rather it maybe due to an acid reflux or some neurological disorder , although i cannot confirm this without examining you , i would like you to meet your doctor for further guidance!
Thanks
