Hello and thanks for everyones time here. I just wanted to run something past anybody that will listen on the forum. I have what I call swallowing issues over the last several weeks. It feels as though all of the food doesnt actually go down my throat. Naturally I have scared myself into bulbar als, but I am not sure. I went to my GP yesterday who looked in my mouth and told me that all of my muscles were good and that I dont have anything to worry about. He checked me over neurologically and said that a Barium swallow was unecessary. He prescribed effexor to calm my nerves and told me that my mouth was very dry due to the anxiety that I was having. Does this sound like anything to be concerned about? Should I push for the swallow test? Thanks to anyone that will listen.
