Vocal cord dysfunctn: You likely have an issue related to vocal cords spasms restricting air flow. This can be confirmed by an ENT. Treatment requires training with a speech & language specialist who can teach you how to breathe through the episodes. Other issues need to be ruled out & this is often misdiagnosed as a form of asthma.
