I have an airway condition known as Idiopathic Subglottic Stenosis. It came on when I was 32 just after the birth of my first daughter (I was healthy and athletic prior to that). Globally, the condition is found in 98% women and it comes on around the time we have children (or childbearing years). I have had over 50 surgeries on my trachea due to this. I do have a slight malocclusion as well and have started myofunctional therapy in hopes of giving my airway little help (but it doesn’t stop the scar tissue from forming).
