A member asked:
How common is vocal cord dysfunctional in the diagnosis of late onset asthma?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Common enough: Vocal cord dysfunction is worth considering in all patients with suspected new onset asthma. Many physicians are not familiar with the condition so it's a diagnosis that is frequently missed and not considered. Most pulmonary doctors would be familiar with the diagnosis.
