Airway

Sudden, involuntary spasm of the vocal cords that temporarily blocks airflow, causing difficulty breathing and a sensation of choking

A condition where the vocal cords temporarily narrow or close in response to triggers like exercise or irritants, leading to breathing difficulty that mimics asthma

The larynx becomes overly sensitive to stimuli such as cold air, smells, or throat clearing, often causing chronic cough, throat irritation, or voice changes

Narrowing of the airway just below the vocal cords, which can cause breathing difficulties, noisy breathing (stridor), and voice changes
