A member asked:
Could yawning a lot in the am when i'm walking for exercise be a sign of vocal cord dsyfunction? i feel like i can't get enough air.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Vocal cord dysfunction tends to mimic exercise induced asthma. Difficulty breathing along with a sound called stridor(sound of air being passed through a tight tube). If a doctor listens to your lungs there will be no wheezing. Anxiety over having difficulty breathing seems to make worse. Treatment is based on making correct diagnosis, biofeedback assistance from speech therapist. See ENT doc.
