Hi there,
Debated for a while about posting, but would really like to have some advice.
About 5 months ago, i had an incident of swallowing problem, a small piece of food fell into my throat, i had a moment of feeling i can not swallow and can not breath, then it happened again another 2 times during the same week. After that I became so anxious, then all of a sudden i feel my throat is tightening, although the same problem did not happen again, i felt everything is hard to swallow and 2 months ago I stated to have this on and off numb and buring sensation on my tongue, which is driving me crazy, of course, after reading about als, i found myself constantly worrying about choking and slurring
I went to the doctor multiple times, we did blood test, barium swallow, then later basic neurological exam, everything seems to be fine, my doctor thinks it's anxiety, (postpartum, i have a 6 month old baby), i know a lot of these symptoms are from anxiety, but it is so hard to believe that anxiety can cause these problems, and when the swallowing problem happened 5 months ago, i was not that anxious... Im confused..
Does the swallowing issue and buring numb tongue sounds like als or other neurological problem or it's anxiety?
