Notes from my ENT doctor:
"The fiberoptic upper airway evaluation is significant for moderate laryngopharyngeal reflux. Continue once daily Protonix 40 mg and begin Pepcid 20 mg in the evenings. Follow-up with his personal Gastroenterologist (Dr. XXXXXX) for consideration of EGD.
The overall clinical picture is consistent with chronic pharyngeal neuropathy with secondary neurogenic cough."
Is pharyngeal neuropathy and/or neurogenic cough associated with ALS or similar diseases? I was not familiar with these conditions until my ENT visit.
