I saw my EMT doc yesterday. She is of the opinion that my post nasal drip is inflaming the bottom portion of my vocal cords and could be the reason they are shutting down during swimming. She has never treated this condition but gave me medication to dry up the post nasal drip. Mean time. I found a pool side breathing exercise from "Coach Shev Gul" that seems to be working in that I have more than doubled my pull laps with out stopping and gasping for air. Check out this article "Diaphragmatic Breathing Technique Practice for Improved Swimming Performance". Again, any one out there with the same problem? I still can not do more than 75 yrds but am improving.

Good ocean swim today. Made almost 500 yards without stopping and gasping for air. Still wheezing but better. Pool swim still sucks. I guess the chlorine is more of a VCD trigger then thought. I saw my ENT today and she wants me to continue the nasal sprays and anti reflex meds for who knows how long. Again, any one out there with a similar problem?
