I experienced sudden breathing difficulty and severe vocal cord dryness (suspected Vocal Cord Dysfunction) that improved after taking Etizola 0.5 mg. What are the appropriate medications and medical steps I should take to manage this condition safely?
It is reassuring that your symptoms improved, but using etizolam regularly requires caution due to dependency risks. Your response suggests anxiety or muscle tension may be triggering these spasms. For safe management, please consult an Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) specialist or a pulmonologist. They can perform a laryngoscopy to confirm Vocal Cord Dysfunction. The primary treatment is specialized speech therapy, which teaches you breathing techniques to relax your vocal cords during an episode. For dryness, stay well-hydrated and consider using a room humidifier. Please avoid self-medicating and work with your doctor to establish a safe, long-term management plan.
