36 year-old male. US.
The last few weeks I feel as if my voice has been sounding increasingly nasal. It feels as if my voice has been pushed up into the back top of my mouth - sort of where the soft palate is. It's not a slur, more a sort of "feels like my voice is being pushed upwards and the back of my mouth gets in the way more than it used to".
I also feel my lips are getting tired and they feel a bit more "obvious" and fuller. Not visually, though. I almost feel like my moth is tired at the end of the night.
Of course, the anxiety associated with this makes me feel my speech and mouth feel worse. I am an anxious person, although undiagnosed.
Swallowing seems fine. Of course, I can convince myself it isn't if I want to. Hello anxiety.
This is a very strange feeling. Have a PCP appointment, but it's weeks away. Just putting information here for discussion purposes.
