I have been having constant swallowing difficulty 24/7 for five months now. I can swallow food and drink fine (sometimes food gets stuck, but not often) but my main problem is swallowing when I have an empty mouth. Like when you walk around, and you just need to swallow. Whenever I feel like I need to swallow it won't seem to work for a half a second, then it goes down in a sor of strained way.
I force up burps, but not like a normal burp, it's throaty and comes from my stomach I think. Every-time I do some food or drink comes back up my throat and into my mouth.
I am having a lot of muscle twitches. They are like a little drum and they just thump away for 5 or 6 seconds then stop and they move all over my body but mostly in my upper arms.
I'm 19 and I've convinced myself I have ALS and since the symptoms are CONSTANT and I mean constant then I have ruled out anxiety, since lots of people say - "Oh, you'll know it's anxiety because the symptoms come and go, with ALS there's no coming and going" and that is worrying.
Please help me, I keep coming back here and I don't want to be here. I want to be a happy guy who feels healthy and I just don't feel right :(
