What Causes Sudden Onset Of Bouts Of Stuttering?

Hi - I have had recent bouts of stuttering pretty badly - for up to 15-20 or more seconds. This is new and has never been a factor previously. My throat feels slightly swollen but there appears to be nothing wrong. I am very healthy I don t smoke, drink or eat junk food. Should I be concerned - what could this be? THANK YOU!

General Surgeon, Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel's Response

Hello,

* As per my clinical experience, the sudden appearance of stuttering can be part of underlying stress or anxiety if it is of mono episode.

* If it recurres during calm phase of mind then underlying cerebral insult as hypoxia, ischemia or others have to be sorted out in greater details.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
