A member asked:

Can patients with vocal chord dysfunction get some relief from asthma inhalers, particularly blue rescue inhalers?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not really: Sitting down and taking time to use an inhaler may break the pattern, but not much.Working with a speech pathologist on breathing exercises, and recognizing the triggers will help the most over time.

Dr Altman and another doctor agreed
