Question : I get pains in my throat if I laugh too hard or speak at high pitch for a short length of time. What could be the cause?
Brief Answer:
This is caused by strained muscles!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this pain in your throat after laughing to hard or speaking at a high pitch. We use muscles in the throat to produce sounds and laugh. If we strain the muscles more than the usual, we would have a pain. This would be comparable to working out excessively when we are not used to during physical exercises. This is the reason why you are experiencing these pains.
I will suggest that you keep these activities moderate to avoid provoking and aggravating pains. If this were you usual habits, it would not cause pain as the muscles must have been used to this and adapted. Must you insist on these habits, then you need to train yourself progressively over time.
I hope this helps and addresses your query fully. I wish you well. Thank you so much for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
