Hoarse voice

[Barbs80]

Hi over the last few days I have developed a hoarse voice with no sore throat or cough. However my asthma has been affected feeling short of breath especially when I am talking to people. Don't know whether to contact my asthma nurse or doc??

Hi Barbs80

This is normally how I know I need to have an asthma meds review/asthma check up. I'd definitely talk to your Asthma Nurse/GP if you're concerned. I've woken up this morning with the beginnings of an upper resp tract infection so I'm awaiting a call back. Hope you get some answers.

Thanks, normally if I am short of breath it does link to an upper respiratory infection but I would also have a wheeze & chesty cough which I don't have this time. Just feels different with a hoarse voice. Will give it another 24hours & up my meds as my action plan suggests.

Hi Barbs yes you better have a check up..sometimes inhalers give us a hoarse voice, I have a hoarse voice all year round now but if you are short of breath your asthma is not controlled so it is worth talking to the doctor again. Good luck x

Thanks, yes I do have a hoarse voice a lot with using inhalers for over 30years but this time it's worse. Think my meds are not controlling my asthma as well as usual. A visit to the asthma clinic might be on my agenda this week.

Hope they sort it out and you regain control of your asthma xx
