You seem to have developed right sided vocal Cord paralysis. Many times this. Condition is idiopathic and no reason can be identified. You may need to get x ray of chest and CT of thorax to rule out any causes for your problem
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
