You could be suffering from allergy and may also have reflux disease ie regurgitation of acid upto the throat. This acid can cause symptoms similar to yours. Take montair lc and a PPI like Rabeprazole or esomeprazole. You may also use inhalers like aerocort or foracort which will ease your breathing. Do not panic as it will make matters worse.
