Can you make me stop gagging?

I have a major problem with gagging in daily life: eating, drinking, even just talking and choking my own spit. But the worst is when I try to brush my teeth. I've tried all sorts of paste but after about 15 seconds of brushing, I'm gagging and choking. It often leds to throwing up.

Is there any kind of mouth wash that will numb my mouth or throat so this doesn't happen? Or exercises that can help me?

Thanks.

Update:

I've asked doctors. They've basically said its all in my head.

    ONE EFFECTIVE THING TO DO IS USE A CHILDREN'S SIZE TOOTHBRUSH WITH A VERY SMALL HEAD.

    THE SECOND IS TO PUT A VERY SMALL AMOUNT OF TOOTHPASTE ON THE BRUSH.

    THE THIRD IS AVOID TOUCHING ANY PART OF THE TONGUE, ESPECIALLY THE VERY BACK.

    Try using ambisol (I don't remember how to spell it) or another topical anesthetic and put it on the back of your tongue and let it sit for a few seconds. I know adult novelty shops sell creams for a gag reflex too...

    Seems like you have an unusually high gag reflex. Yes, go see a doctor. He'll probably just tear your tongues out. J/K.

    Go see a doc.
