You could have Laryngopharyngeal Reflux (LPR) which is also sometimes referred to as ‘Silent Reflux’. LPR causes stomach contents to come up (often silently ie. no symptoms/feelings) to the throat. It therefore irritates the throat (can cause gagging) and it thickens the mucous in the back of your throat (that is there to lubricate your vocal folds ie. completely normal). Go to an ENT and have a nasendoscopy. If you do have LPR, they may put you on medication. It's also good to see a Speech Pathologist to eliminate foods/fluids that trigger the LPR and you may also be having issues with your voice. Contact me if you would like any further information.

You may have reflux, and I support Nikki's suggestion if seeing an ENT as you may other things such as sinusitis, adenoiditis, tonsillitis that cause similar symptoms.
