Does The Use Of Budamate And Fluticasone Cause Cracking In The Voice?
For past 5-6 years, i had rhinitis. Last year in the month of december, doctor has told i ve allergetic asthama and prescribed Budamate 200 twice daily and Fluticasone Furoate nasal spray (Avamys nasal spray) once daily for 6 months. I am a singer, I do stage performance. For last one month, I am finding my voice is cracking and I am loosing the base voice nor able to perform various level of voice. Though Ive never shouted nor put any extra pressure on my voice. Also, I ve given complete rest for last 3 weeks and not done any singing. But still I am finding this problem. Is it because of the above medicne? Pl advise.

Hello,
You are suffering from cracking of voice. You have been on fluticasone, its side effects are sore throat, cough, hoarseness of voice, allergic reaction like swelling of throat or tongue, etc. Side effects of Budamate are slurring of speech, dryness of mouth, troubled breathing, increased thirst, etc. Talk to your treating doctor regarding the side effects of the medicines that is affecting you.
Other causes that can cause your symptoms are laryngitis, dehydration, nerves, Being nervous or anxious causes laryngeal muscles to tighten or become tense restricting the movement of your vocal folds. Thus, causing strains or cracks when you speak as the folds struggle to move as pitch and volume changes.
Avoid pushing your voice higher or lower presently. Stay at voice rest. The pitch of your voice results from the movement of the cricothyroid (CT) muscle. use it after warming as otherwise it may tighten. This makes your voice crack as the CT muscle moves quickly trying to transition between high and low pitch or volume. Get clinically examined by an ENT, get treated at the earliest.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
