“Why do I have trouble talking?”
I have trouble talking, sometimes I can barely eek out a sound, and other times it is almost normal. I have mucus from my nose to the back of my throat. I think my vocal cords may be coated with mucus, my lungs are clear. A week ago I visited with a friend. My voice was about 85% normal. Later I could barely talk.

I highly suggest seeing a Otolaryngologist. There could be various structures in your sinuses, face, and upper airway that can be causing this. Also, sometimes acid reflux can do this as well.
YOU NEED AN OTORHINOLARYNGOLOGIST EVALUATION.
Best to see a laryngologist. Symptoms may be compatible with presbylaryngeal changes or spasmodic dysphonia.
