Hello good morning. For 7 months I have been experiencing symptoms of muscle weakness and fatigue on the left side of my body. It is not yet clinical weakness. but the deltoid and quadriceps and tibialis anterior of my left leg get fatigued as soon as I put some weight on. I also have a high heart rate to the minimum that I make any physical effort. see a neuromuscular neurologist and he told me he doesn't detect any signs of MMD. I have 4 EMGs since then all clean. my question is. Is elevated heart rate on exertion related to ALS? After 6 months of symptoms and the last clean Emg performed on October 4. can MND be ruled out so soon? My neurologist did not examine my deltoid in the emg but he did examine the biceps and the first dorsal interosseous, would that be enough? thank you very much for everything. You are angels.
