Voice loss
Anyone have issues with voice changing or loss. I live to sing in the shower or just anywhere. Not that I can cause I sound awful to my self but I never cared cause I love my music but the I started to lose my voice I will be talking or tryn to sing and it like I don't have the breath to push it out my voice will just stop mid sentence. And just try to raise your voice or argue with sum one voice gone that makes me mad anyone else have this issue. Again thanks you all
Hi
. Voice loss isn't usually a symptom or effect of COPD, so there might be something else going on. Do you think you might be battling an infection? Have you messaged your doctor? You are not alone though. Here is a forum post from someone else who had the same question: https://copd.net/forums/voice-loss. Keep us posted. I'll be thinking of you. - Lori (Team Member) no I haven't had the test yet. I have I a heart and lung doctor app. In August.i think. It's in Chattanooga TN. Heart an lung doctor together I think. I hope the can take care of both issues at the same time. Something gt to give soon my shoulders an neck just can't take much more. Ty you so much all you guys a gr8. Hi
. The best place to start would probably be with your primary care doctor. Your primary care doctor can prescribe certain anxiety medications, send you to a psychologist or psychiatrist if necessary, or maybe send you to physical therapy to see whether you might benefit from exercises that stretch and relax your body. There are lots of options and the two of you can discuss what's best for you. Do you feel comfortable sending your doctor a message, asking for an appointment to discuss anxiety? I'm glad you recognize it's an issue for you and that you are willing to get treatment. Mental health has a huge impact on physical health. If you can treat your anxiety, you will probably feel better physically as well. - Lori (Team Member)
Singing is perhaps the best lung exercise that you can do yourself without adding medications. That is what my doctors have told me, all 3 of them. I sing as much and as often as I can, and care little for what anyone may think or say. To date, no one has logged a complaint, but the moment they do, I will offer to trade places with them. Those who react negatively towards your attempts to help yourself, and stay in the game, need to simply step into traffic for a while and play dodge cars. Keep them busy with far more productive, and less opinionated pastimes, maybe. They have no idea what we go through. Keep singing and pay those with opinions little mind.
Best wishes, keep yer stick on the ice.Hi member bf2879. I am the same as you. I love to sing, or at least try 😉 But since this heatwave, I have been losing my voice too. I have a few "fluffy weeds" at the back of the garden. I ventured to the back of the garden a few days ago, and boy, did I suffer. I had a sore throat for several days, partially lost my voice, and felt unwell.
Perhaps we can start our little group called "The Croakers" 😀
