Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
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 epiglotis, 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.
