Would excess saliva in als occur after other issues like speech and swallowing changes? or can it be a presenting symptom? for the past few months i feel like ive had excess saliva and need to spit a lot?

As it is a solitary symptom it is unlikely t o be ALS. If you have any worries see your doctor. Good Luck

When I press my tongue hard against the roof of my mouth the tip of my tongue will twitch/spasm. Its not every time but most of them time. Im 24 and scared it could be ALS? is it a symptom? Im also a very anxious person. Particularly with health.
I'm 25, female. I have a severe phobia of ALS. I had ENMG and lots neurologists checked me, but now Im afraid of bulbar form,I focused on my tongue and it started twitching and my tongue and mouth are tense, I have trouble spaking.others don't see it?
Right arm, hand and right foot feel tight and heavy. No real weakness. Random muscles twitches throughout body. Tongue also feels too big for mouth and feels like its in the way when talking. I have very bad health anxiety. Could this be early ALS?
