great that you got help.

I had a smilier experience when i had a bad cough. I was lying in bed and having a cough drop. Suddenly I had to cough and it got stuck deep down my throat. I could not breathe and panic immediately set in. In order to get help I had to run downstairs, but jumping down the staircase is already came back up.

Lesson learnt: Never have cough drops while lying in bed.
