Hello,I know youve probably seen similar questions in this forum but here goes.about 6 weeks ago I had a couple of strange episodes while chugging water where it felt as though the timing in my throat was off and i choked.In a panic,I went to the internet and read about bulbar als.Now,totally frightened i went to my primary physician who told me that what i described and the way i described it was an esophageal spasm.I mentioned my als fear to him so he proceeded to examine my throat,palate, tongue strength.gag reflex and all of the other  limb refelexes as well as hand and arm strength.He told me that everything was perfectly normal and that a neurologist exam would not be necessary.He prescribed for me clonazapam as needed,feeling that I was worried over nothing and explaining to me that if it was als he would have detected something abnormal.since then my swallowing has been normal but i have noticed some slight speech difficulties at times,and that my facial ,tongue,and jaw muscles are sometimes tense,in fact sometimes my whole body is tense,and shaky.these symptoms seem to come and go.I am still convinced of having bulbar als.My question is should I accept his diagnoses of anxiety and work on getting that under control or should i aggressively pursue a neurological exam.any help you could give would be greatly appreciated.
