I find I am suddenly getting sudden heatrush up to my head sometimes now, and struggled to quickly take off a layer of clothing , but have never fainted. It has reminded me of menopausal times long past! X

Hot flashes could be a symptom of something else. Maybe see your Dr?

[Ellie]

Patw I've fainted due to low BP, not ALS related, but I def think you ought to tell your GP. xx

[Patw]

will do thanks all x

[Madge]

Patw good idea to run past GP for peace of mind x take care x

[Ellie]

Patw Re the hiccups: they could be because you're swallowing more air, maybe it's reflux (any burning?) or because your swallow reflexes aren't behaving as normal.

Any likely contenders? Do you often cough/aspirate? xx

I read somewhere about hot flushes and covid jabs. And yes it did remind me of menopause and I've been getting them too which is weird. 🥵

[Patw]

Ellie i can cough well and clear mucus I thought it was start of pneumonia but my lungs sound clear so probably the air getting in

[denise]

Patw you should have your pneumonia jab.
