I just started the Couch-to-5K program, and I'm curious as to whether or not any of the rest of you had ever had a problem similar to the one I'm encountering. I've had this kind of sensation ever since I was a kid, and I always assumed that I'm just out of shape, but my friend with a similarly sedentary lifestyle has not had any problems like this one.

I have a really hard time with jogging, or anything that makes my breathing speed up and deepen. I can do just fine at the beginning, but eventually, I get this real tight, cold burning sensation low in my throat, near where my neck meets my chest. I can't take any deep breaths because I start coughing and it hurts even worse. The weirdest part of it, though, is that I end up having this really thick and kind of sweet saliva in my mouth. I have to spit as I'm running because I just can't swallow it.
