About this service
Vocal Cord Dysfunction What is Vocal Cord Dysfunction (VCD)? VCD used to be called Paradoxical Vocal Fold Movement, because the vocal cords are essentially doing the opposite to what they should be doing - they close instead of opening when you breathe (see diagrams below). Symptoms and characteristics of VCD include: Sporadic or recurrent symptoms of shortness of breath and/or noisy breathing, much like a wheezing quality. Frequently patients complain of a tightness or choking feeling in the throat area, although sometimes the sensation is experienced in the chest area. This sensation can obviously create significant fear and anxiety.
