If she fell down and was unconcious with normal breathing, then it is not due to choking. It definitely needs further evaluations to find the cause

Frequent choking can be due to stroke, which causes loss of swallowing reflex and cough reflex due to which the patient experience recurrent choking and difficulty to swallow. Falling unconscious again could be due to stroke, or it could be due to convulsion disorder. But to confirm this or to find the exact problem she should be evaluated thoroughly.
Next Steps
Consult a neurologist and follow his advise.
