This is what my voice therapist told me to do: "If it happens again, try and sniff through your nose, tiny little sniffs and exhale with your mouth pursed like you're going to whistle. That opens up the airway."
This just happened to me Last week. In hotel shower. Thought steam bath was good. Closed me up. OMG. Im so so frieghtened. My tonsils swollen im not in my home town. Came to visit my son an got sick. The congestion an coughing is unbearable. 911 came not nice er visit was total neglect. Tried to hold nurses hand. Since i was dying. She moved away from me. Started talking about having ct chest, have i had a dye before. I had no voice. No air in or out. B/p 231/130 they said i was fine. Im forever changed. Cant fly back home fear it will happen in plane. Any suggestions? Has anyone flown after spasm an was ok to fly? Thanks for listening guys.. Sorry suck at texting. Thanks doc...
@@melissabrill8367 they were well aware.i went into the theatre for the second time on the 1st of August 2021.anasthesia was administered at 10:38 and I woke up the following day in the even in the ICU with the NG tube with oxygen saturation was 42percent on oxygen and below 20percent on free air
This happened to me twice under anaesthesia ... Absolute panic stricken the first time .. I could hear all around me as one was saying "get another tank"..as I woke up but couldnt breathe in or out whatsoever and I can recall fidgetng my body aiming to breathe bit just couldn't ..couldn't speak or anything ...and my thoughts were foreboding ..my mind was slowly getting blacker..darker .. that's when acceptance took over ..I was a gonna.. But I also heard nurses come back and a male voice was near my ears "try To breathe now.." As the mask enveloped my face with the oxygen gas flowing in rapidly.. The blackness was first to disappear and my eyes opened again as I took in more air . It was petrifying .. The second time I accepted it was occurring again much earlier on.. And just prepared for the worse without the panic.. How did I manage to be so calm the second time round? I amazed myself!
Thank you for this. I had I laryngeal spasm right after waking up from knee replacement surgery. I couldn't breathe and thought I was dying as I was going in and out of consciousness. They called Code Blue and then I remember I was under oxygen and morphine. Terrifying is not even close to what I experienced. Now I'm afraid to have another surgery...
Did you feel like you were suffocating under water ?? I felt like i was under water trying to get more air by swallowing and swallowing. And then I woke up a bit later and kept coughing up nasty tasting yellow crap
How terrifying it must have been. I was panic stricken as I gasped for breath. I heard the nurse call ‘Code Blue’ and that’s all I remember… I, too, was given oxygen and morphine the rest of the night.
@@melissabrill8367 it did feel very much like drowning but without the water .. I vaguely recall a gagging reflex but no actual air passed through in or out..I was just trying so hard to breathe nothingness .
I wake up from deep sleep with this...lots of times in my life
Same here. Very frightening! I stick my head in the freezer and breath in and it stops.
Could it be sleep apnea? Laryngospasm is when your vocal cords are irritated such as when you’re intubated…
👍👍
It is dangerous
ميو ميو ميو
Well this isn't helpful at all when Im randomly having this happen to me out of the blue.
Do you have sleep apnea?

I had laryngeal spasms on the 1st of August 2021 when I was having appendicectomy. I thank I'm alive and recovering well
Have you had another surgery since ? I had this too
@@melissabrill8367 no I'm afraid now it was actually the second time having that in theatre
@siphathisiwefoma3487 what do you mean ? We're they not aware of the first one before hand ?
