Hello
Thanks for your query.
From your history it seems to me that probably you are suffering from vocal cord dysfunction syndrom. You must have a visit to an ENT specialist to check your vocal cord movement during the symptomatic period and also you should undergo a spirometric testing to prove the diagnosis and also to exclude other diagnosis.
Thank you
