In my view this is not quite right (US usage). It should be something like:
I almost choked in disbelief when my girlfriend told me to sleep with her. (The word "almost" is required in this situation.)
I almost choked in disbelief when my girlfriend told me to sleep with her. (The word "almost" is required in this situation.)

It may depend on the girlfriend. You can choke on something and not choke to death.
