This blog is intended to provide information about the condition known as Vocal Cord Dysfunction (VCD).

Please make sure you see your General Physician (GP), or respiratory physician for correct diagnosis and treatment. VCD is often mistaken for asthma. However, many VCD sufferers are also asthmatic. Therefore it is crucial you know exactly what medical treatment you require to keep your asthma under control.

I was diagnosed with this condition approximately two years ago and have been struggling on and off with my breathing.  At times I find it quite distressing and have difficulty performing normal day to day activities.  In moments of desperation I search the net for any glimmer of assistance, but have found it difficult to find information.  Therefore I intend to use this blog as a source of reference for fellow sufferers to be able to locate information on breathing techniques and links to medical sites for further information.

Please feel free to read this information, but remember, you MUST SEE YOUR DOCTOR before starting any form of treatment.  The information on this site is not intended to replace advice from your medical professional.
