It could be acid reflux but I think that you would have other symptoms of GERD like burning in the chest and indigestion. When does the hoarseness come on?
I had terrible hoarseness just as my periods finally shut down and I think that it was my thyroid having a scranny because of the lack of oestrogen. It has completely gone now but it was very unpleasant at the time. Of course, when I told the doctor about loosing my voice, he just looked at me as if I were an alien!
( All my thyroid tests came back fine.)There is so much ignorance out there when it comes to menopause!!!!!!!!

Opera singers in their menopause have another thing to worry about – their voices. According to wellknown soprano Virginia Davids, many singers go into “retirement” during their menopause because of the changes in their voices.
"The voice is a personal, physical instrument and very sensitive to hormonal changes. During menopause, the voice can become hoarse or husky and it may become more difficult to reach high notes. Some women even lose their voices temporarily," says Davids.
According to her, singers also lack the energy and stamina needed to be on stage. And hot flushes on stage are definitely not conducive to a good performance.
Menstruation
It is not only during menopause that the voice is affected. Menstrual periods can also influence the voice. In fact, says Davids, the contract performing opera singers sign, stipulates that women are not allowed to perform on the first and second day of their periods.
Sopranos and lighter voices experience more problems. According to Davids, mezzo’s can often get away with hoarser voices when they sing dramatic roles. A hoarse voice may even enhance their performance.
Have hormonal changes affected her? Not yet, says Davids, “I hope to be one of the lucky singers who just sail through menopause without any symptoms.”

hi,"
I went through bouts of hoarseness when I was peri that left me "speechless" . I felt like a teenage boy going through
puberty. I had trouble projecting my voice, some days it was only a soft gravely whisper other days deep and broken.Other days no voice at all......
This caused me a lot of anguish and embarrassment at work. Some days I could not even answer the telephone...or speak to people...used up a few sick
days on this one...
This problem disappeared when I went meno...(5yrs)it blows my mind as to all the physical, mental and spiritual problems we must endure in
order to get to the order side of this madnesss....no wonder some of us cry morning noon and night , I know I sure do and yes I feel sorry for myself
and all the women who suffer and have lost so much of themselves at every level....at least if there was a point to all of this....it seems like a
very big price to pay in order to have no periods....(that was hell too!)
be well, speak free
