yoga zone vcd

A total of 44 patients had both asthma and VCD. 15 patients had asthma without concomitant VCD. Females were predominant in both groups. Overall, the majority of patients referred for VLS testing had mild-to-moderate asthma (78%) and 72% of these patients had VCD. Few patients from either group had "classic" VCD symptoms of stridor or hoarseness. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and rhinitis were common in both groups.

my ekg says rsr1 v1 or v2 vcd or rvh otherwise normal should i worry is iit serious

Hi my worker handed me a porn VCD plastic bag and when i reached home, i played the vcd and materbated immediately, i am concerned if my worker had semen on the vcd and keep the cd in the air tight plastic pouch and handed to me and i masterbated with his semen on my hand or touch my eyes or mouth any chance of hiv infection

My son is a long distance runner who was diagnosed with VCD last fall. He did not respond to the methacholine challenge as an asthmatic. His attacks occurred when running repeated sprints, but over the winter, spring and summer he has continued to train without any problems. He was found to be allergic to dust mites and grass, among others. He also had post nasal drip and reflux. He was on meds for both allergies and reflux through March. Now off meds and not seeing an allergist.

My daughter had what she thought was bad asthma that was not relieved by her asthma medications but found out she has a condition called Vocal Chord Dysfunction. This means her vocal chords close partially or all the way sometimes when she tries to breathe. It mimics asthma and many doctors have never heard of it. She still has asthma and has to take asthma medication, but she has learned breathing exercises to open her vocal chords. VCD I've heard is common in people with dysautonomia.

It sounds like either asthma or vocal cord dysfunction (VCD) or both. VCD is pretty harmless and more a nuisance than anything else. That could be the cause of the wheezing in your throat. I am more concerned about the cough after excercize which sounds like exercise induced asthma. You really need to have this evaluated by a doctor to determine what is going on and find effective treatment. Take care and God bless.

This could be vocal cord dysfunction (VCD), following a bad viral respiratory infection. Infection can initiate VCD. The VCD would not be apparent on routine pulmonary function tests (PFTs), unless an inspiratory flow-volume loop was performed. Even then, the loop might be normal if done at a time when you were not as symptomatic.

I've been unable to exhale with my asthma or VCD. when I had a shiley 8 put in my exhalation force and time was much larger (I wasn't obstructed exhaling), but not on the smaller shiley 6. I was dizzy/exhausted for 1 month on the shiley 6 and had liver damage. doesn't this mean that there is an obstruction in my vocal chords, throat somewhere above the trach site?

Read...yoga....but mostly just lay back on the couch and zone out lol.....

The tight feeling in you throat and lack of response to rescue meds would indicate VCD vs asthma issues at these times. Search the internet for vocal cord dysfunction. There is at least one video out there that demonstrates a relaxation technique that may be helpful. There are others, but you would have to see a speach therapist for them. Speach therapy is the only treatment for VCD. I hope that helps you some. Take care and God bless.

I have severe acute VCD also called Paradoxical Vocal Cord Dysfunction which has led to being intubated and on the vent 18x in 6 years. It mimics a asthma attack so unless the dr is VERY educated on VCD, they can make it worse. GERD, which I also have, is a very small part of VCD. For me, this condition has led to complications and heart problems such as microvessel heart disease and diabetes d/t all the steroids. I am in the icu approx every 8 weeks.

Zone 3 is 70-80% of your target heart rate and results in increased aerobic and cardiovascular fitness. Sounds like you are training in high Zone 4 or even Zone 5. This level is for elite athletes and should only be visited for short periods by normal folk. You may want to spend more time doing light cardio. I agree with greendave, as a lot of us go full out and end up sustaining an injury or something worse. Get a good flexability program going to.

Another possibility since you have trouble breathing when laughing is vocal cord dysfunction (VCD). This is a spasm of the vocal cords that can be triggered by anything that triggers asthma. Discus this possibility with your doctor the next time you see him/her. God bless.

The repetitive flat inspiratory loops do indeed suggest the diagnosis of vocal cord dysfunction (VCD). Attempts should be made to confirm the diagnosis with fiberoptic laryngoscopy while you are having symptoms. If this is normal then a methacholine challenge along with laryngoscopy may determine if the problem is VCD or asthma even at a time when you are not having symptoms. There is no good reason to wait 3 months.

This sounds a lot like VCD or Vocal Chord Dysfunction to me. And the throat spasms/difficulty breathing can definitely be triggered by things other than allergies. There is a VERY helpful website about this at National Jewish, where they are very knowledgeable about the problem and have been treating it for years. Here is a list of common triggers for the throat spasms: http://www.nationaljewish.org/healthinfo/conditions/vcd/triggers.aspx As you can see, not all patients have asthma.

I have severe asthma AND VCD. I was recently started on CPAP for a mild case of sleep apnea. I hate it! I can't breathe with the machine on and it gives me headaches. I'm not sleeping any better with it than I was without it. I'm still waking up at least once per night needing to do a neb treatment. I also have fibromyalgia and PD, so I'm up several times per night due to pain, which the CPAP doesn't help.

m not sure how common Vocal Cord Dysfunction (VCD) is, but asthma and allergy doctors know what it is. Most other people don't seem to have heard of it. It is diagnosed with a camera that goes down the throat in small tubing. I saw for myself what the doctor was talking about on the monitor. Basically, the vocal cords do the opposite of what they're supposed to do, so you really can't get that deep breath you need from time to time.

It sounds like you might have an upper airway obstruction, a class of obstruction to air flow that includes vocal cord dysfunction (VCD). This can often be visualized by fiberoptic laryngoscopy or bronchoscopy. Additionally it is often apparent on the inspiratory portion of a flow-volume loop on pulmonary function tests (PFTs). This diagnosis is suggested by your statement, ”My throat always feels like something is obstructing my breathing when I inhale.

This sounds like Vocal Cord Dysfunction (VCD) is a possibility. VCD is a condition in which the vocal cords spasm on inhalation making it difficult to breathe in (as you described). It is treated with speach therapy. I am looking for a link to a breathing technique used to treat VCD. It is very simple and can be described as pursed lip breathing. There are several variations that are taught by speach therapists, but they all start with that technique.
