idk what even happened. i pretty much had no gag reflex forever and now i can’t even vape gas station vapes without gagging 
. I just want my nicotine 
That is something you should talk to a doctor about. Suddenly choking or having difficulty swallowing is a thing that needs treatment. How are you with food/water?
This is almost exactly what has happened to me. My doctor has no idea, except that my gag reflex is more sensitive than before. That’s just my case, yours could be something different.

They didn’t mention choking or trouble swallowing. The gag reflex thing often happens for no reason
Textures, tastes, even gross thoughts can make you gag and in extreme times, throw up.
I can’t cough without gagging anymore.

I can’t brush my teeth because of my gag reflex.
Maybe it’s a side -effect from meds?
I’m on olanzapine and vraylar.

No idea. A doctor could possibly help pin down the reason
Acid reflux can cause a sensitive gag reflex sometimes. You could try some anti acid and see if it improves any. But yeah, see your doctor about it.
When I was a dental assistant we had a lot of people gag.
Especially when we did impressions.
We had a trick though.
Tell the person that salt makes you not gag,
Put a little salt on the back of their tongue,
Do the impression.
Worked EVERY TIME.
I don’t know if it’s some sort of placebo effect,
Or if there’s something to it,
Not sure.
Just throwing it out there that salt makes people gag less.

Salt really does work. They did that for me at our dentist. I didn’t believe it would work, but it did.
