When I started this whole discussion is was to ask what might be happening to the young girl. But I don't think any of our resident list doctors read that post. I'm adding a call for doctor responses to the subject, hoping they'll respond.
To repeat: a young girl I work with has been attempting to belt in performances with a theatre training group here. She has experienced the taste of blood in her mouth while singing and has seen bruise-like marks at the base of her throat as well. She tells me they disappear when she stops singing. her mother has also noticed this. All of this happened during a 2 month hiatus from lessons, so I was not aware she was singing this literature and so was unable to guide her. She normally has a good light mix, but mostly sings "legit" musical theatre and classical repertoire.
My question for the doctors was: what might be going on that's causing these symptoms? She is being scoped this week. I'm appending Nande's question too so you can see the two questions together.
Thanks again,

-----Original Message----- From: denanny@h... [mailto:] The first post in the current belt-discussion, featured a girl who had sensations of the taste of blood in combination with singing. This scared me a little; I had no idea this was even possible. Unfortunately, there were no comments on this particular phenomenon.... So: my question: is it really possible to end up bleeding (and perhaps wounding the cords severely)? Or is it just a sensation and not really blood? I'm curious because I too have had this experience in the past, before I started taking serious lessons, and it scared me senseless. But then I forgot about it, until I read this post......
Thanx,
Nande
