I have had a constant cough and throat clearing for 7 months now.
It all started after I stopped taking Klonopin cold turkey. I had a baby and then started panicking over health related issues.
I've had two clean EMGs. One on my legs and one on my arms. At the time I had lots of twitching but that has since gone away and I know that was from being so stressed out. I had the EMG done on my arms during the time when I was also experiencing a lot of coughing.
I have no other symptoms like trouble swallowing, tongue weakness or slurring of words.
I had an endoscopy which showed my mild, almost normal, inflammation in the bottom of my esophagus and PPIs don't seem to work. Gaviscon from the UK does seem to improve it. Also, drinking seems to make it worse.
Does this sound like bulbar ALS, at all? Would the limb/arm EMG have picked up on it since I was also coughing at that time?
I am so sorry to post this, but I just don't want to go down that rabbit hole again.
