General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

The sudden stuttering seems to be of psychological reason, rather than any underlying abnormal issue. In the majority of the cases, it is either anxiety or stress induced.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Purva Patel
