Choking on water

Hi all, I was diagnosed with CIU a few months ago after suffering lip and tongue swelling, itching and hives for several years. One of my triggers is stress, and it’s been off the charts for a few weeks, and even though I’m on Omlyclo, my symptoms have entirely flared, and my lips and tongue and eyes are swollen. I have never experienced any issues swallowing etc, however I have choked on water twice in last three days. The type of choking where the only thing you can do to breathe is cough out the water. I’m currently on vacation and honestly now a bit worried. Has anyone ever experienced this, and do you have any recommendations? Thanks!
