Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hello
Welcome to HCM

The complaints of heavy tongue, slurred speech etc. are symptoms of anxiety. Other features like tremors, sweating, difficult respiration, dryness of throat etc. Anxiety is easily treatable. Both medical and psychological treatment are available.
Medicines like benzodiazepine, SSRI, SNRI etc are very effective, kindly discuss with your psychiatrist for opinion.
Psychological treatment like behavior therapy, relaxation exercise, breathing exercises etc are main modalities.

So visit a psychiatrist and take advice.

Thanks
