Hey everyone,
Hope you are all well. Unfortunately, my problems have only gotten worse. It started with a swallowing issue that happened twice and went away but then I started feeling liquid regurgitating into my nose and now my voice has been affected. When I talk I make a slight snort (involuntary). I even did some hypernasality tests online and sure enough I have it. My nose makes lots of noise when I’m talking and it shouldn’t. I do have sinus drainage right now and allergies but according to google these issues don’t cause air to go into your nose and thus hupernasality. There are veryyyy few things that cause it and those include: neurological disorders, cleft palates (which I don’t have). Adult onset hypernasality is incredibly rare and I can’t find a thing about it online. It does happen in ppl with brain tumours and ALS though. I am absolutely in despair but holding it together. I am 32 with two beautiful little kids.
I have a phone appointment with my doctor on Monday. I am sure I will be referred to a neuro or an ENT. I am just very very scared and don’t know what to do. What is more scary is that usually when I google disorders there are several explanations and I dwell on the worst case scenario. In this case, the worst case scenario is the ONLY scenario. Please please any experiences or advice are welcome. I am beyond myself right now
