How are People Simultaneously Able to Talk, but Unable to Breathe?

536 views

Injured people often say they can’t breathe, but the act of talking requires a mostly open airway, and air to be pushed over the vocal cords. Is it a mental thing or are they really suffocating?

They can breathe, usually. They struggle to do so and it may be very painful, but they can breathe.

If they can’t breathe, they can’t say more than a word or two.
