Hey guys, nice to meet you all. I'm a 21 year-old male with severe case of hypochondria.
Being a hypochondriac, whenever my muscle twitched or felt weak, I always dreaded that I have ALS. But not a long time ago I found this site and read the stickies and that really helped me a ton. now I know feeling weak doesn't mean it's actually weak, and feeling that something is on my throat is not a symptom of bulbar onset ALS.
HOWEVER...
Yesterday I was just normally drinking water, and suddenly I felt as if my esophagus is thinning/closing itself... and became harder to breathe. I was also having dry heaves and needless to say now I'm in a state of total panic. I thought sleeping would help ease these symptoms but nope, now I can't even drink water without feeling like I'm getting choked.
Is this a symptom of bulbar onset ALS? should I take EMG?
