Hi-
I have had major swallowing problems for weeks and don't know why. It feels like food is getting stuck in throat and my swallow is weak / leaving residue. I have seen an ENT / GI who both said i have acid reflux after scoping my throat -- but that doesn't explain my symptoms to me. Why would acid reflux impact my ability to initiate a swallow? Liquid is mostly fine but solids are challenging. They gave me omeprazole which is doing nothing to help.
I have talked to two neurologists who were uninterested -- one did an emg on my legs (for some reason) and said i was fine. I have had twitches for years so immediatley thought of ALS and can't get it out of my mind. What should i do?
