Tongue/ speech changes

2018-04-11 15:41:42
Starting 2 days ago my tongue began to feel heavy and like there is a pulling sensation underneath it. Throughout the day yesterday my voice got more hoarse and family pointed out my speech sounded slow- like I had a drag to each word. It feels as if my tongue isnt moving like it normally does to pronounce words. I don't know if that makes any sense. Guess I am looking for guidance as I have ongoing neurological symptoms nyd

You seem to be developed slurring of speech which may be sign of underlying neurological disorder. You need to undergo detailed neurological examination and get a MRI done.
