The symptoms of vocal cord dysfunction (VCD) can be mistaken for those of asthma or other respiratory illnesses. As a result, VCD is often misdiagnosed, leading to unnecessary, ineffective, costly, or even dangerous treatment. Here are the facts that will enable you to avoid making an erroneous diagnosis, choosing potentially harmful treatment, and delaying effective treatment.
