Hi guys!

I am currently struggling with muscle tension dysphonia and vocal cords that wont close properly. went to ent, and everything looks fine, just the improper closure. The only exercise that works for relaxing the muscles is the blowfish exercise. But this doesnt make my voice clearer. have tried all the different SOVTs, but feel like im straining more.

After i started on lexapro 5mg my symptoms like burning after talking disappeared, but i haven´t upped my dose yet. so i was wondering if any of you guys had a similar experience. i know anxiety makes mtd worse, but is it why no exercise works for me?
