Feeling ko nabubulunan ako. Then after that parang naglalaway ako. Madalas ko syang maradaman, lalo na kapag nagte-take ako ng gamot. Yun bang feeling ko nandun pa ung gamot sa lalamunan ko kahit marami na akong nainom na tubig. Ano po kaya ito?


Translation: I feel like I am choking. Afterwards, I salivate/drool. I often feel this when I take medicine. It's like the medicine is still there on my throat, even if I've drank a lot of water already. What could this be and why?

Thanks for your question, I'm glad to help.

If these symptoms only occur when you take medicine, it may be caused by the medicine. However, only a few medicines cause excess salivation and they include clozapine, risperidone, and pilocarpine. These drugs stimulate excess saliva production when taken.

However, if the symptoms occur even without taking medicine or the medicine you take aren't listed above, the symptoms may indicate a disease of the nerves in which the brain loses control of activities involving muscles such as swallowing.

I recommended that you visit your GP for a thorough evaluation and a definite diagnosis. Please, feel free to ask any more questions.

I hope I have provided some clarity on the problem and I hope you get better soon.

Best wishes.
