Hi,
I am a 22 years old and for the last 4 months or so, I have had the feeling of phlegm stuff in my throat. I am usually able to swallow it but I have had to clear my throat fairly regularly.
Initially I was not concerned about this but after awhile I looked at my tongue and noticed that there is an indentation on the right side (left side of the picture), which will twitch/fasciculate every so often (flutters in and out).
The reason I am posting on this forum is because I googled prolonged post nasal drip and found a post on here which scared me where a gentleman's very early symptom was having to clear his throat all the time because he had phlegm.
I asked my PCP about the phlegm and he didn't seem to think it was anything but I was wondering if any of you see any beginning signs of tongue atrophy in the picture or if I should be concerned by the phlegm and if I should see a neurologist.
I hope that I am not wasting anyones time and that this is nothing and I can stop worrying. Thank you very much.
