Hi,
I am a 23 y/o white male. During the last month or two I have been noticing a tightness feeling in the bottom of my throat. Recently I have been having to clear my throat often due to phlegm being present at the apex of my throat. My left side of my neck seems to not move when I swallow compared to my right side. Sometimes it feels like I need to put a large effort into swallowing and also sometimes when I attempt to swallow it just doesn’t occur and have to try hard to do it a second time. This has not led to choking on food or any problems with tongue/ speech. Aside from these symptoms of persistent phlegm and dysphasia, I have no other. I am relatively active, gym all week and Brazilian jiu Jitsu. This is a super stressful time in my life as i am applying to become a physician. I know Google isn’t the best source but when i did google my symptoms and grew concerned about bulbar ALS. Clinically I have been diagnosed with large tonsils that should’ve been removed as an adolescent however my parents elected to not have the surgery. I am driving myself crazy wmd those around me with these symptoms and any help/advice that anyone can offer would be deeply appreciated.
