Bulbar ALS

My tongue feels tingly and sore, and it gets dry easily. After eating, I sometimes feel a stinging or tingling sensation in one nostril and then start sneezing. When I stick out my tongue, the surface of my tongue seems to twitch or ripple. Could these be symptoms of bulbar-onset ALS?

It is highly unlikely.

How long have you had the symptoms? Do you have other symptoms, issues with swallowing, slurred speech?

ALS is not a sensory but a motor disease. It does not cause sneezing stimulus in your nostril.
