I was eating rice & pork & all of a sudden I could not breathe, got some hick caps so I drink juice. Then I was gasping for my breathe & got nausea & suddenly I feel I could not see for a few seconds. My chest seems like it is going to explode. Then I tried to cough & slimy saliva would come out. What causes this occurance.
