Good morning, my mom has had parkinsons for 20 years. the past two weeks there has been significant change,. severe gagging, hiccups,yawning and anxie?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Gagging: I am concerned that she is having swallowing problems. The best way to check this is a barium swallow study to see if she aspirated fluids into the lung when she swallow. An ENT doctor would be a good person to help you.
