I totally understand how this feels as I have this symptom. It makes no sense to me why talking makes me feel out of breath and exhausted? But, it does. Singing is impossible.

I do have some "good" days in which I can do a bit of singing, and I can talk with no problems.

I attribute the problem to POTS. I'll lip synch at church when I'm supposed to be singing. And I'll refrain from talking, if possible, when I'm feeling SOB. This is part of my "new normal".

Hi.  I see you mention  your addrenals.  What do you do or take for this? Thank you

Oh my gosh! I can't believe you guys are describing what my issue is!! I have been been having this issue for over two years and keep getting blown off by doctors who say I'm anxious. I admit I'm a bit stressed out, but who wouldn't be if you're constantly exhausted from talking. Like all of you, it waxes and wanes to some degree with some days being terrible (can't say "hi" without getting extremely lightheaded) and other days being able to have short conversations before becoming ill. For some reason I haven't found someone to diagnose me yet. I saw a neurologist several months ago and he basically took a look at me, and said I was just anxious. It's true I might be anxious but getting exhausted while talking is not normal!   

Does anybody have head and ear pressure as well? I'm trying to figure out whether this other symptom is related or unrelated to speech problem. It could be unrelated but it's just weird to me that I lately have constant head pressure AND trouble talking. 

Have you found out what this is attributed to?  I have ear pressure all the time  I have been to the ENT and my ears are fine.  I do have sinus issues with rhinititus (nasal dripping).
