Here's the basics of what I learned at my appointment this morning trying to figure out whats going on with my vocal cords. Follow up on the 28th. Hope for the best! Thanks everyone for the support :)
I don't know if you work with a vocal coach, but If you don't, I think you should get opinions other than your natural reflexes. What I've noticed from listening to your range video is that yhe genres you sing seem to be risky for the voice (mostly the rasp). Also what I've heard is that your voice sounds a little bit squeezed, as in you're giving too much air/strenght when it looks like you could sing it much more effortlesly. Also, opening your mouth too wide for every note may cause problems, I think it causes too much tension. You know your voice the best, though.
Look into Ken Tamplin. He has a vocal course on youtube, and his main gist is growing and maintaining the voice, also has some videos on how to treat certain vocal ailments. Definitely worth checking out.
Glad to hear you were able to learn what was at least causing the current main issues! Wishing you all the best with your investigations and recovery, LOVE listening to your singing ❤
Glad you got an answer on what's going on right now. Hopefully this can clear up and the next appointment will help determine how your vocal cords are 🙏!
