Laryngospasm (leh-RAY-oh-spaz-mah) is a temporary spasm of the muscles of the throat and vocal chords that temporarily make it difficult to breathe or speak. The muscles of your larynx, or voice box, are two long thin fibers at the back of your mouth (breath pipe). They attach to the uvula, a cartilage in the front of your mouth that can vibrate as you talk. When the larynx contracts, this vibration is sent along the trachea, or windpipe. This vibration is what we hear when we talk or laugh.
Laryngo is also called Laryngeal Reflex Stimulation (LRR). It is a very common condition, affecting millions of people each year. Laryngo can be mild or severe.

Symptoms of Laryngo can include but are not limited to, chest pain, choking, difficulty breathing or coughing, and coughing that sounds like gagging. The degree of discomfort varies from person to person, but most of the time the symptoms are short term and will subside after a few minutes.

You may want to consult with your doctor to determine what treatment is best for you. Some doctors recommend taking a pain reliever for a short time, then reducing the dose. This helps to reduce the chances of developing a more serious condition.

Some other treatments include LRR, which is similar to LRT but uses low-frequency sound waves that reduce the vibrations of your voice box. and cause your body to relax. This treatment can often work faster than LRT because it does not require exposure to the sound waves directly. This can help those who have a harder time breathing.
