Unmoving Vocal Cords

by malsabor, Mar 02, 2008 03:58AM
Ok. I'm not sure how to describe this but it feels like only one side of my vocal cords will vibrate when I sing or talk. Today its my right side. The left side just feels stationary. I don't know what could be causing it but when I usually feel like I'm on breathing out of one nostril but today its just my throat. Could it be the extensive amount of dust here in Iraq? Since I have recently tried to improve my singing i feel like there's a gap in octaves or whatever they call it. Like I can hit normal notes and really high notes but somewhere in between disappears. What do yall suggest?

could be unilateral vocal fold paresis. (partially paralyzed vocal cord) it can go away on its own. can take a few months to a year. see ear nose throat doc specializing in voice.
good luck and take care!!
