[|Human|] My speech is extremely nasal and i amnhaving difficulty speaking normally without having to pause intermittently to catch my breath. I also have difficulty chewing normally as i have to keep my mouth open and fight to move the food around in my mouth.
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. By your history and description, possibility of Upper Airway obstructive lesion is more likely. You are having difficulty in speaking (more nasal voice), chewing and swallowing. So possibility of abnormal upper airways like epiglottis, pharynx, larynx is more likely. So consult ENT doctor and get done endoscopic evaluation of upper airways. If there is any obstruction then surgical correction is needed. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
