Hi All,
I learned some information I didn't know about breathing problems that I
am sharing, in case it might do anyone on the loop any good.
I went back to my allergy and asthma doctor last week after a long
absence on my part. What I learned that I had never been clear on, is
how your specific breathing problem defines which problem you have.
Here goes:
If you have difficulty breathing in, then you are having spasms of the
vocal chords. If you are having trouble breathing out, then you have
asthma. Inhalers are the course of action for both problems.
My initial injury caused damage to the vocal chords, and then three
spinal cord surgeries required moving the vocal chords out of the way,
which would have caused further injury.
Hope this helps someone.
