Yes. I've had similar experiences. Not exactly choking, but a reflex of involuntary coughing when a drop of saliva gets inhaled on a sensitive part of the airway. It can completely disable one's playing for a moment or so. Happened once in a concert, but mostly it happens at home while practicing rapid-air-intake breathing exercises. It occurs less if I open my mouth wider when grabbing more air.
