Other Possible Causes of Slurred Speech
Some possible causes of slurred speech include excess alcohol intake, a stroke, brain injury, migraine, severe fatigue, certain medications like sedatives, as well as neurological disorders like Parkinson’s disease. While anxiety may make speech become a bit slurred, it is important to pay attention to other signs. Seek immediate support if you notice other symptoms of a stroke, such as difficulty walking, confusion, trouble understanding or speaking speech, paralysis, dizziness, loss of coordination or balance, severe headache, vision issues, and weakness or numbness in the leg, face, or arm, particularly on one area of the body.
