He sounds like my pulmonologist. All he does is provide inhalers and a one yearly breath test. And he’s Pakistani and difficult to understand.
The spot on my lungs was found by my ENT’s ctscan.
And he personally told the receptionist to get my pulmonologist on the phone. I didn’t get a response until I called him the next day. Then he sent me for a cat scan and I called him 2 weeks later and a receptionist told me that my spot had resolved. How does she know that?

Anyway, I was having problems breathing normally for 2 years until it started to hurt my throat and he found that my right vocal cord was stuck in the closed position.
When you breathe it comes out of the cords as you would not be able to breathe. If both are closed I could die from suffocation. I am presently only using my left vocal cord to swallow and talk. Eventually with only one vocal cord you stand to choke ( keep liquids near you at meals).
Your breath goes through your vocal cords so if you only have one cord your breathing may become difficult. You will know as it doesn’t affect you right away. My nurse recommended an ENT and he found all these things including my esophagus shrinking at the abdominal area. I’ve done 80 minutes of a double MRI, 2 specialized X-rays , to swallow X-rays that showed my esophagus narrowing at the abdomen. I didn’t realize that it was that long.
I’ve also had 2 speech therapist make me eat dry crackers to see if I could swallow them normally. Mine needs to be expanded at the bottom. That is done with a long endoscopy under sedation. So did you get any results from an ENT to check your vocal cords?
That’s how we found out.
Unfortunately an endoscopy was performed twice in a week through my nose and down to my throat. It just tickled because he numbed my nose. But I have a hospital outpatient appointment for the long endoscopy with the ability to open my esophagus and my non working vocal. My pulmonologist does sleep studies and prescribes inhalers mostly.
