I post here awhile back about my husband under, force the doctor or wait and see.
Anyway, my husband has not been officially dignosed. The neurlogist we have been seeing has told us he can't say for sure it is, but can't say for sure it is not either. EMG came back dirty but he does have a pinched nerve in neck could be effecting results, but there is twitching in hand also which shouldn't be effected by this nerve. He is sending us to another neurlogist that has seen more people in with ALS.
So here is my question my husband sympton start with slurred speech that has steadly gotton worse. Also has twitching in right arm that is slowly progressing to his shoulder) We went to a throat specialist because he said that he felt like there was something stuck in his throat all the time, the doctor scoped his throat and didn't find anything that he said he could help us with but recommended that we see a neurlogist. Told us he did see some unusal thing and showed us that there is sylvia pooling at the back of his throat (that should not happen) and also that is vocal cords have a strange temor.
So finally to my question, recently he has moments were he cant catch his breath, then he almost like has a panic attack. Once he calms down he get so he can breath again. Have any of you seen this? If so, what would you suggest? What about Anti-anxiety medication, is that something we should talk to the doctor about? Is this just be a Panic attack or is it another sympton?
