What Causes A Sudden Unusual Choking Sensation At The Back Of The Throat?

I just woke up suddenly with what seemed like a very odd, wash of something in the back of my throat. It happened so suddenly & was almost choking. I immediately began to cough & had to get out of bed to get some water. I sprayed my threat with throat spray because there was a burning sensation.
