about 6 years ago, I had mono for the second time, and where the first time I had it the most obvious symptom was the WORST sore throat I'd ever had, this time the symptoms were totally different - difficulty breathing, feeling like my throat was closing, and extreme fatigue. It has occurred to me that in the past year, whenever I'm under stress I have the very same throat issue - feels like it is closing, to the point that my voice changes, and it comes on very quickly. I sing in my church choir and by the time we are done on Sunday morning I am very hoarse. I'm not crazy about performing especially because our group is small because sometimes the hoarseness hits me mid-song and I end up mouthing the words intead of helping the group out! Anyways, I wondered if hoarseness, brought on by stress or otherwise is something that any of you have experienced. I'm not dx'd yet, just starting out on the fact-finding....realizing that some stuff I (or my doc) was just shrugging off as caused by stress before is probably an important piece of this big puzzle.
