I often have the swallow reflex just not happen. I find if I turn my head forward and down, I can usually overcome the lost reflex, but it is easy to choke on food or saliva.

Yes! I am newly diagnosed and when this began it was really scary. I also have seizures and they are focal aware with often warning signs if during the day, they also occur in my sleep. If during the day I can recall some of the seizure and right before I have had issues with swallowing and breathing. After I have drool all over me, regardless of day or night time seizure. Without seizure though, I do suffer from swallowing and sometimes more difficulty breathing at times.

I had to have my esophagus stretched several times before I could swallow again. Before I could not swallow a small pill and would vomit if I ate anything. I am fine now. I wish you well in finding relief.
