Anyone have "cough variant" asthma? Vocal cord dysfunction?

@hopeful33250 I’m definitely not an expert but I have had sore throat and raspy voice (and awful muscle cramps) from some of the inhalers before I switched to Breo. It could be the meds but it could be other things as well. If the ENT doesn’t find anything they might want to try a different inhaler but given your history, I think it’s smart to double check. Good luck, this disease is so frustrating but there is progress.

@drsharon, I agree about the progress. Since I started using the Symbicort inhaler, I'm now sleeping through the night. In the past, I've had sleep studies because I wasn't breathing during sleep. The sleep studies did not show sleep apnea. Must have been from undiagnosed asthma.
Has anyone else had the feeling that there is not enough air? In the summer, I'm always turning the A/C lower, and it's not because I'm hot; I don't feel there is enough air. Such strange problems!
