Hello,
I am Dr. Romain Rajan, General Physician.
I understand your concern.
â¡ï¸ Difficulty in articulation, words getting âstuck,â and trouble forming longer sentences (even without typical stuttering) can sometimes happen due to mild speech fluency disorders, anxiety, or coordination issues between tongue and facial muscles.
General Advice:
Practice slow and relaxed speech; donât rush through sentences.
Breathing exercises and mindfulness before speaking can help reduce tension.
Reading aloud daily (newspaper/book) improves clarity and confidence.
What to monitor:
Whether symptoms worsen during stress, anxiety, or tiredness.
Any associated weakness of face, tongue, or hands (neurological signs).
Fluctuation in speech depending on situation and mood.
Treatment/Next Steps:
A speech therapist (speech-language pathologist) can guide you with personalized exercises to improve articulation and fluency.
If the problem is long-standing or worsening, a neurologist consultation may be helpful to rule out any nerve or muscle coordination issues.
Anxiety or self-consciousness can make the problem worse â practicing relaxation and confidence-building techniques is very important.
When to consult immediately:
If you suddenly develop slurred speech, facial weakness, or difficulty swallowing.
If the problem worsens rapidly.
With regular speech therapy and supportive care, most people see significant improvement.
You can connect with me directly on Practo or reach me on WhatsApp (85271646 seven seven) for a more personalized consultation.
Best regards,
Dr. Romain Rajan
