Go to ER : Right now. This could be potentially very serious, possible stroke.

Speech altered: This is a sudden neurologic change and it is alarming. You are having a localized neurologic deficit manifesting in altered tongue movement which is motor, not sensory. I recommend taking an aspirin as an anticoagulant and see your doctor immediately or go to ER.
