Harder to breathe.

Ever since I had half my thyroid taken out I've been getting these laryngol spasms. And ever since my last spasm attack it feels harder to breathe in and my ears are always plugged. Does this happen to anyone else?

I'm not sure. I haven't always had this problem. It started after I had a spasm attack about a week and a half ago. I'm still waiting to be seen. After my new insurance becomes active they can schedule me for an appointment! Which hopefully they can tell me what all is going on! That could be a possibility! I never really thought about that. I know one of my vocal chords might be paralyzed. Or semi paralyzed. Because sometime I almost get my full voice back.

I'll make sure to post when I figure out what all is going on! haha, And for me it's not to late. I usually get off work around 3 am xD So I'm in the same boat haha! But right now I think I might be dealing with the start of food poisoning so I've been drinking a TON of water and lemon water to make sure it doesn't get me haha. So it's nice being able to go on here and ask questions.
