I am just wondering if anyone with Bulbar onset has ever experienced throat pain and the sensation that your throat is closing in? My dad is in the emergency ward yet again with this symptom. The night before last he felt an acute pain in his throat and a swelling sensation that was preventing whatever swallowing abilities he has left. It got bad enough that he agreed to return to the hospital and he is not one to complain and he has a high tolerance for pain.
The doctors are searching for possibilities for the cause of this. They suspect a throat infection but I highly doubt that. I am wondering if this is ALS-related and if anyone else here can shed any light on it.
For now he is on pain medication so he is somewhat comfortable at least.
Thanks!
