Hello I'm a 20 year old male and for about 8 months now i have been having strange symptoms that keep worrying me more and more it started with widespread twitching and shortness of breath after me having bad sideeffects on medication which i have gotten used to by now but recently i have been feeling like my speech has been affected by something for like 2 months now I sometimes find it hard to pronounce certain words and i also saw yesterday night that i had tongue fasiculations i also feel like i cant sing along songs anymore as well because i run out of breath trying to sing along which i could still do before while experiencing shortness of breath and what worries me the most is that I cant change my voice anymore like if i would try to put on a weird voice as a joke it just doesnt work and it feels really tight in my throat while i try do so. I used to be able to do alot of voices from my throat but i have just lost control of that and I wonder if this could be due to ALS i also have to mention that im a anxious person and i really do hope its caused by that but i really dont think this would affect the things i can do with my voice. I'm also not sure if ALS causes this but I'm worried it might be. I also notice that the way i burp has changed which might sound weird i dont really know how to explain it and i need to clear my throat really often also if i laugh it just feels different.
