What Causes Hoarse Voice With A Blocked Artery In Heart?

I am a 77 year old male, 5 10 , 174lb. large heart artery 40% closed. Have started to get hoarse off and on about 3 weeks ago. At first it only seemed to happen when I was tired. Then every couple of days I would be fine in the morning when I first got up and would get hoarse as the day wore on, now for the last 3 or 4 days I am hoase and losing my voice completely. And I am overly tired.

Hello,

There are many causes for hoarseness. Here I have mentioned few causes for hoarseness of voice.

Early morning hoarseness may be seen in gastroesophageal reflux disease. Other causes are benign vocal cord nodules, cysts or polyps, allergies, inhalation of respiratory tract irritants, smoking, thyroid problems ,trauma to the larynx/vocal cords, neurological conditions (such as Parkinson's disease and strokes), and cancer of the larynx.

Please avoid spicy food and alcohol, avoid caffeinated drinks. Take medicine for Ischemic heart disease. Please consult your ENT specialist, he will examine the larynx and vocal cards through laryngoscopy and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu
