I am a 44 white male. 5'10 250 lbs. For about the last 15 years I have had occasional trouble speaking. Often when I begin to talk or get a couple words into a sentence I am unable to get the rest of the words out. It feels like I suddenly have no breath left. I have no trouble breathing in. If I were to not talk for a whole day I would have no trouble breathing in or out. This only happens when I try to talk. I start to speak, I suddenly stop, take a breath and start again. It doesn't happen every sentence. Sometimes I can have a whole conversation without a problem. Also this problem can go away for weeks or months at a time.

I have high cholesterol, high blood pressure, anxiety and depression. I currently take crestor, wellbutrin, and something for blood pressure that I can't remember right now. I have allergies in the spring and slight sensitivities to some raw fruits and vegetables.
