Hope everyone is having a good evening!
Was away here for a few months and was doing well.
Saw my neuro last week, clinical was great again. Investigating some blood test results now.
My question involves aspiration. Every time I drink water, or most any liquid, I have to clear my throat right after. I can talk and breathe normally most of the time before I decide to clear it, but when I do, it is almost always a "wet cough" that gets produced.
I have seen an ENT and been told GERD is there, but is what I/m describing aspiration?
I have never fully "choked" on liquids to where I couldn't speak or breathe or anything, but I am curious as to if this would be considered aspiration?
I have had plenty of EMG's and clinical exams, and have been told they are all good. But I have never had a swallow test done.
Any feedback you all might have would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You!
