I’ll start with my stats, I’m at 28M 190lbs and 6’00”
Active and workout a good amount, no familial hx
Of note, I’ve had an EMG for unrelated issue in 2019 which was “clean” that was on limbs
In the past 2-3 weeks I’ve had nasal regurgitation where I can “taste” liquids and food in my nose
Hands on both arms are weak at times hold phone and such, but mostly left (right hand dominant
No there is not any food or drinks coming out of my nose
Swallowing seems weird. Tough to initiate a swallow at times
Speech is normal, or at least no one has asked…
Tongue is normal… All tongues twitch when extended…
No twitching, at least not the ALS kind
That’s about it, it seems very suspicious for bulbar and not sure if I need to press doctor to accelerate visit.
