Brief Answer:
Considerations.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for the query.

This may be a mild form of asthma which can sometimes present itself when talking or speaking for extended periods.

An inhaler may help this - typically albuterol. This can be obtained via prescription from your doctor if he agrees that this might work for you.

Thanks again for sending the query.

Sincerely,

Dr Galamaga
