Hello. I've had spine surgery on August 6th. There were complications during surgery. I was in the OR for 10 hours for a 2 hour surgery. Long story short, I have a paralyzed vocal cord. Doc doesn't know if it's permanent or not. Have to wait. In the mean time I am short of breath. I don't have any respatory problems and have been checked for blood clot. It's came back negative. Can a paralyzed vocal cord cause me to be winded. Thanks
