what can you tell me about exercise-induced vocal cord dysfunction?
my doctor thinks i may have exercise induced asthma, but my symptoms don't seem like asthma and i've found out a little about vocal cord dysfunction. does anyone have any good information about it or has it?
also, when i use my inhaler, it doesn't help at all or very, very little.
exercise induced astham is one entity and vocal cord dysfuntion is another. they can theoratically co-exist but never heard of it. Best person to diagnose VCD would be an ENT or a pulmonologist. Lack of response to the inhaler is a possible marker pointing away from Asthma but it may also suggest severer form of asthma requiring a nebuliser.
suggestions would be to either go back again and again to the same doctor so that he/she can proceed up in the treatment protocol or consider a second opinion,
