I just finished all pulmonary tests and had a final meeting with my pulmonologist. My lungs are operating at 97% efficiency. My readings show that 5 to 15% of swimmers diagnosed with EIA are really having problems with vocal cord disorder. (Paradoxal Vocal Cord Motion Disorder). This problem has not been widely researched with most readings dated 2008 and later. Next week I'm off to see a ENT guy who hopefully knows something about this problem and can help. Anyone out there with a similar problem? I still can not do more than 75 meters freestyle without gasping for air.

Thanks Norascats: Did a ENT guy suggest this or did you find it out of Master Swimming? Did you have other exercises that caused VCD or only swimming? I have not heard of a tempo trainer. Is it something attached to your goggles?
