What Causes Choking And Gagging In The Morning?

My husband is choking and gagging every morning --sometimes to the point of throwing up. I suggested an allergy pill which helped just slightly. His doctor suggested Zantac which did absolutely nothing. Now it seems to continue all day long. Any suggestions on what might be causing this? He has had it for years. It seems to be getting worse.
