I'm relieved it's not just me! I get this horrible tightness in my chest under my ribs, and then I know my stuttering is going to be worse. I know I should relax but it just doesn't happen. Some days are worse than others but I can't really work out the pattern! It's no wonder we stutter when we are all tensed up! Thanks for the suggestion about meditation I have tried it a little bit, but need to give it a proper go.
