What is that? I thought it was just me
Bronchoaspiration. Trust me, I'm a pretend doctor.
That's "going down the wrong pipe", not whatever the hell this is
Yeah, it's more like your throat cramps up instead of swallowing properly.
My mother is a nurse, apparently "the wrong pipe" is not proper terminology and I will continue using it

Trust me, my mom says I'm a qualified professional.
I think it's a combination of overstretching the autonomous nervous system and smooth muscles basically leading to a cramp and the fact that the esophagus has a narrow spot in the middle (not a sphincter, just a bit more narrow).
