Hoarse voice for 7 weeks

I had my baby 8 weeks ago and approx 1 week after she was born I developed a hoarse voice. I can still talk in high pitch but my normal voice and lower pitch doesn't sound right at all and feels like so mu effort to talk and it's embarrassing talking on the phone or to people as I don't sound right at all. I went to the GP and tried antibiotics and reflux medication with no results. Have now been referred to the ENT clinic to have a look next week and really feel as tho it's going to be bad news. I'm only 22 I used to smoke and drink when I was in my teens. I'm so worried now I have a family and my husband is so positive but I can't help but feel like they will find something sinister. I don't have any paint apart from occasional earache on one side that stabs my throat. Has anyone had any similar experiences? Thanks

  • Hi Violetrose and welcome to the forum.

    Hopefully some of our members who have had similar experiences will let you know more about them soon but whilst you wait I just wanted to wish you all the best with your ENT appointment next week and hope that it can give you the answers you're seeking.
