I've had swallowing problems recently, although not bad enough for me to even call the Neuro. Every once in a while it's like I get "stuck" while trying to swallow and I have to wait a few seconds before I'm able to. I'll try the chin tuck thing and see if that works. I've had it happen while I'm eating and/or drinking, too, and it's much more apparent then. Sometimes I'll almost choke if I'm not careful.

A few weeks ago I had the breathing difficulty, too. Sort of like I couldn't get a good, deep breath. I knew it would pass so I didn't panic. I could still breathe - just couldn't get a "good" breath.

I'll mention it the next time I go in for an appointment.
