What Could Be The Reason For Having Heaviness In Tongue And Difficulty In Pronouncing Certain Words?

Hi,
Since the past few days, I've been experiencing heaviness in my tongue, and a slight difficulty in pronouncing certain words (for example: I'd say "THAY'ble" for table.)
And my friends, they keep telling me that I have a really deep voice (non-feminine voice) , which really embarrasses me....
Please Help!

Hello, thank you for consulting with us. As you are mentioning that you have noticed heaviness in tongue and you are unable to pronounce certain words it means that there must be some swelling in the tongue because of which you are feeling this.
There are many causes for this swelling some allergic condition or some general health problem or some deficiencies which is leading to this problem. It will be better that first you should visit good physician and get the necessary examination and investigations done which will rule out your problem.
Because after the examination only he will come to a diagnosis and give you the necessary treatment.
