[Instant News/Comprehensive Report] The snoring of the person next to the pillow may be a nightmare for some people, but if the snoring becomes "howling wolves", it must not be as simple as a nightmare, right?

There is a 60-year-old woman in China who had cough symptoms before. After a week, she still had chest tightness and difficulty breathing, and she would "howl" at night!

Fortunately, everything went well after the doctor's treatment.

According to comprehensive media reports, the woman from Hangzhou was originally in good health, but recently developed symptoms such as phlegm in the throat and coughing. The frightening thing is that she would unconsciously let out a "wolf howl" when she slept at night, which startled her husband a lot.

The woman was diagnosed with asthma at the beginning, but taking medicine did not show improvement. After being checked in the "Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine Department" of Hangzhou Hospital, she was found to have a rare "Vocal cord dysfunction" (VCD for short). , the inspiratory gas cannot be inhaled into the lungs, resulting in uncoordinated panting; in addition, the woman has a large amount of secretions in the nasal cavity and the back wall of the pharynx, which makes her vocal cords vibrate abnormally when she inhales, and then she emits "wolf howling".

The woman recovered after treatment.

The doctor explained that the exact cause of VCD has not yet been clarified in the medical field, and it is only speculated that it may be related to psychology, such as anxiety and stress.

The common complications of VCD include "cough", "sudden dyspnea", "throat tightness", and "wheezing".
