Question 10

ive been having an uncomfortable throat tightness feeling when running and singing for a year plus and im not sure where its coming from. ive been to multiple ent and they tell me that everything is fine. im not sure what to do next?

Accepted Answer

Speech/language path: I would schedule a visit with a speech &amp; language pathologist. There is a condition called vocal cord dysfunction where the cords can behave erratically, closing the airway some when they should stay fully open. Therapy can help reverse the process. Sometimes a well trained ENT can spot this in the office but not always.
