Does anybody else have speech-induced symptoms? If I talk for long or laugh, I get bad vagal symptoms - very lightheaded, spacey, confused. Stabbing pain in left of hyoid. Tingling in face, hands, feet. Headache at base of skull. Visual changes. Chest pain. Twitching. Hoarse voice, dry throat. Metallic/cold feeling in airways. Metallic taste on tongue. Episodes last for an hour or two. Anyone else have symptoms brought on by talking? ---

The symptoms you are describing have happned to me. But it was more off them in the early stages. However, after excessive speech i get some burning sensation in my jaw and the roof off my mouth and i get voice changes and hoarse throat. Sometimes i will start to lisp. And laughing very hard, i often get “first bite” symptoms. A sharp shooting pain in ears and jaw but it goes away after a minute. ---

@zeagle - If you click on the magnifying glass image in the upper right of this page & type _voice_, _voice symptoms_ or _vocal symptoms_ in the search box, many posts will come up where vocal symptoms are mentioned. Yours are more extreme than some & definitely sound related to vagal irritation. Have you been diagnosed w/ ES yet? I’m sorry if you posted that answer previously. I have trouble keeping track of everyone here. 😊 ---

Thanks! I tried searching with other terms and didn’t have much luck. I haven’t been formally diagnosed, an ENT wanted to rule out carotidynia. Took NSAIDs for two weeks which helped the constant throat pain but it comes back when talking. I also have hEDS and want to rule out dyasautonomia, as many with POTS report similar issues when speaking. ---

> [@zeagle](#): > > carotidynia. Sorry for jumping randomly in on this, i read some quick explanation about carotidynia. Do you experience migraine regarding this ? ---

I do get a headache at the base of my skull as a speech-induced symptom, but it’s not constantly there.
