Feeling of drowning and suffocating to liquids only is suggestive of a Neurological condition.
You need to consult an ENT Surgeon to undergo clinical examination and an Endoscopy to confirm the diagnosis and a second opinion of a Neurologist for further Evaluation, an MRI of the brain and the cranial nerve, to confirm the diagnosis and get an appropriate investigations and treatment.
