Strange throat symptoms

Hi all, Iv done a quick search on throat issues people have experienced but havnt found anything like my own issue at the moment - im hoping somebody might know what im talking about! The passed few weeks, iv got what feels like a tightening in my throat. Its not there constantly, seems to come and go. The sensation in my throat and tongue doesn't feel right either. Swallowing feels a little restricted but nothing major but the main issue is that when the tightening comes on, it triggers my gag reflex and i cant stop gagging! Its soooo embarrassing. People speak to me and I dare not open my mouth or il gag! Tonight its so bad i cant sleep! Anyone had something similar?

Thanks for your response @lisa_morgham No sore throat/fever/cough. The best way I can describe is the feeling right before getting a sore throat where your swallow feels a bit restricted or swollen even. It started about a month a go but used to come and go, this last few days id say its there pretty much permanently. I have a phone appointment on Wednesday with my MS nurse but in the meantime il definitely try some lemon tea.
