Yes, I do; just this morning. I cough and gagged like crazy. Since I'm a smoker, I never thought about it being a symptom of PD.

Yes I have that problem too. I feel like I am choking and have to cough hard until I cough up some sputum then things are fine. I'm a non-smoker by the way.

I sure wish doctors would tell us about all these things that may happen to us! What we get are more meds --more side effects!

yes, it always feels like my pills get stuck right at the top of my throat and will never go down.... the swallowing motion can also be affected by PD, so make sure you tell your doctor what you are feeling
