Swallowing issues since Jan- first a prob
With initiating a swallow with solid foods.
Now more of an issue with phylangeal
Stage. Not aspirating . No speech issues. Was
Referred to a neuromuscular doctor
Who noted a perfect clinical exam.
She performed an emg at my request which tongue sternocleidomastoid masseter vastus medialis peroneus longus medial head deltoid biceps triceps and others were needled and tested all on the left side . Exam was normal.
I however feel more symptoms in my right- - a sensation of something in my throats on the right . Biting cheeks tongue and lower lip inside of it. Accidentally- it's painful.
(MAybe those two symptoms are because I am constantly retesting myself in the mouth and cheek area
The way the dr
Did. Such as puffing out cheeks and holding air moving tongue all over and checking strength of tongue against inside of my cheeks. I have a sore
Tongue from all of this.
I can move my tongue all
Over and very fast.
I don't have speech issues.
Would bulbar present symmetrically? I feel
More throat symptoms on the right .like a feeling of residue in my throat on the right side even though after being examined by larygneacope
By ent he saw nothing and didn't note
Anything looking out of the ordinary with my vocal
Cords
Etc. Also the biting of lips cheeks etc- is that a presenting symptom or
Symptom after weakness is detected?
And would an emg that is thorough detect bulbar? Or should
I seek a second opinion?
Please and thank you.
