Hi All
Keeping it short for easy read and reply.
I am 33, Male and currently residing in Singapore.
Recently, in the last 1 month, I had some sort of dysphagia where food residue will get stuck in my throat (near larynx - adam apple area). This occurs everytime I swallow solids. No issues with liquids or pastes previously.
Just today, in addition to above, I woke up having bad nasal regurgitation whenever I take in liquids. No issues with speech.
Consultation History in Chrono order:
1) Went to ENT, performed nasal scope, no visible structural problems, ordered a swallow test but only able to be done in May
2) Went to Neuro, performed MRI of neck and head with no abnormalities, basic limb-eye-tongue coordination checked, recommended to go back to ENT
3) Went back to ENT and diagnosed me with LPR (Laryngopharyngeal Reflux - akin to GERD but higher up)
Does anyone think bulbar onset would present itself like this?
What further diagnostic tests are recommended?
Thank you for your precious time and advice.
