Is Vocal Cord Paralysis Related Ear Pain And Chest Pain?
I have been diagnosed with a left vocal cord paralysis. I am awaiting results from an MRI and CT scan. I continue to have slight ear pain and started having intense pain in my left chest. Do you think these are related or do you think that they are separate issues (throat and heart)?

Hello
yes , these can be related and i would like to know the report of your ct scan/mri before i could tell you the cause of the pain . I would also like to know if you are smoking or drinking?
The nerve which runs through the chest and neck also supplies the ear , hence the pain in the ear and chest are related.
Thanks
