neck/tongue cramp, breathless

I am 76 yrs old - until about a year ago, pretty healthy - on BP med and thyroid meds - been having cramps in neck/tongue and sometimes it is so bad, I can't speak. I am out of breath a lot even when sitting and I am thin so it is not my weight - have had heart catherization (normal), MRI, MRA, CAT scans, pulmonary test, swallowing test, blood work and Doepler on my legs, which are weak - my arms are weak also -- all test have come back negative - as far as the doctor can tell everything is normal. I am not a hypochondriac! I am just sick and tired of being sick and tired -- can anyone suggest anything?????

I've been on Synthroid for years - can't even remember how long. Taztia, Lesinoprol and HCTZ for about 6-7 months.
Before the whole choking/cramping in the throat, I struggled to get my BP down. But other than that nothing else was going on.

hmmm many meds used here..this in co-incidence with current state/change/experience could give rise to new symptomology complaining of...

what do you mean "...struggled to get blood pressure down.."?

My blood pressure was way up and then normal for months - maybe 8 months --- my son took me to the emergency room before Christmas and it was 210/200 - they increased the dosage on my BP med and sent me home. I followed up with my PCP and she again increased it a week later as it was still 190/110 - she increased med to max then two weeks later added added the Lesinoprol and then a week laterthe HCTZ. All this within about 2 months and was breathless and they thought it was because of BP but it is still happening and my BP has been good --but the cramping started last April but was minimal until the last 3 months - now it has gotten worse and I can feel it going up my neck more each week.

this blood pressur ething gives me concern---other symptoms well could be medicinal effect--combine with stress and dis-ease express in this current symptomology...from this distance -over net lets simplify so as to reduce need for bp med---get that under control with diet first ....

please explain ALL foods-drinks -supplements-herbs...ect use on daily/bidaily'weekly basis

what condition of hair?

what condition of fingernails and around them??how many whit spots on /under?

BP is doing fine --- Hair has changed texture - nails/fingers are okay - no white spots that I can see.
I have a rather healthy diet, except I like sweets (white sugar) but I don't over indulge. I don't take anything but an everyday vitamin supplement, one baby aspirin and my RX's. I drink about 1 cup of coffee a day (sometimes none) -- I went to a Neurologist on Friday and he seems to think ALS of one form or another. I have an appt with an iridologist on 5/15 - I'd like to see what she thinks - I have neurology tests this Thursday - something about putting needles in my arms.
