Thank you for all your helpful suggestions. I have been to my doctor so thought I would give an update here for anybody interested.
My doctor says that the gagging could be caused by one of two things ... firstly the sinuses (or more specifically a post-nasal drip, as I suspected), and secondly, a mild reflux action of the stomach which can be brought on by playing clarinet or cleaning teeth. She also thinks that it is the former. She has prescribed Nasonex and, while it is still early days, I think it is helping ... but I will reserve my opinion until a little more time passes. Also, she has booked me in to have a CT scan of my sinsuses.
I am lucky that I have a GP who believes that any problem, no matter how minor, should be investigated and resolved if it interferes with a person's lifestyle.
Thank you again, all!
Regards,
Noelene
