Abstract

Vocal cord dysfunction (VCD) is frequently misdiagnosed and mistreated as asthma, which leads to morbidity secondary to unnecessary medication use and increased health care utilization. In our case it was misdiagnosed over 8 months as anaphylaxis. Vocal cord Dysfunction can be presented after anxiety or cold exposure and misdiagnosed as anaphylaxis which leads to unnecessary medications and delaying in starting of breathing exercise strategies.
