Did I just wake up with a spider inside my throat ?

r/

Hi guys, today I woke up in shock with something very strange in my throat. It instantly made me cough violently for at least 30 seconds when I woke up. I didn’t feel any solid foreign body, but there was a very unpleasant sour and burning taste that must have lasted for a few hours.

Any ideas what it could be? I was sleeping alone.

    Acid reflux from swallowing too many spiders.
