Hello! I read each sticky before posting, and I have tried to look online before posting. However, I’ve just had some difficulty understanding and would just like to find some clarity. For the past two months, I have had increasingly bad swallowing issues. These choking spells occur roughly every two days. I either cough heavily after drinking water (with a choking sensation but nothing comes up), or I actually physically choke up my drink, and it gets everywhere. After I have these spells, I cough for the next few days and have constant tickle in my throat.
Now, I have been choking more frequently, with two of the instances happening a day apart. Is this normal, or should I approach my doctor with my concerns (ALS or not)? I can’t tell if choking like this is normal or if I actually have something wrong with me. I used to choke semi-regularly, but the past month as gotten me concerned.
I appreciate any possible response!
edit: I meant to say choking/swallowing issues when drinking. My apologies!!
