My father has had an on going issue wirh his speech, hes been slurring his words since about Feb '17 and even at 1 point his boss asked if hes been drinking, fast forward now and he still struggles to speak, he has alot of excess mucus and constantly has to spit because of this. He's also choked on his food several times to the point of turning blue, he struggles a bit more with has hands, such as putting jumpers on and opening bottles etc. He's had blood and urine tests that have come back clear and a chest xray and tomorrow he is having a camera down his throat. I know its unlikely he will have ALS, but I'm just so concerned.
 
As it sounds like he's seeing a Doctor, he's on the right path.

It's too early to start worrying about fatal diseases.
 
Thank you for replying, fingers crossed by tjis evening we should know more.
