Suggest Remedies For Speaking Difficulties

Professionally i am a lecturer about 26 years old. I have speaking problem since last one year. Too much effort is needed to talk. But still it is not audiable and clear. I got irritated and could not wish to talk anyone though I want. Students loughs at me as all the vains of my face is strached during my lecture. Too much pressure is needed to make my voice audioable to others. But I could not able.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

Speech problems occur due to psychological problems, anxiety, stress, neuromuscular disorders, infection/inflammation of the vocal cords, substance abuse or use of certain medications (narcotics or sedatives).

Quit addictions if any(start tapering slowly). You are suggested to see an ENT, get physically examined to rule out any pathology with the vocal cords. Get treated.

Your ENT can refer you to a speech language pathologist. Get blood, urine tests, Imaging (CT, MRI, EEG, EMG), brain biopsy, neuro-psychological tests done.

Your treatment will depend upon the pathology detected. You can take the help of a speech pathologist or speech therapist who will help you regain normal speech, improve communication, adjust speech rate, strengthen muscles.

Do not get nervous while you talk, there is no need to slow down or speak loudly when you talk. Tell your students not to distract others & create a noisy class. Be assertive.

Hope I have answered your query. If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Take care.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K, General & Family Physician
