I think I may have a stutter

I think I may have a stutter I am not sure if what I have is a stutter or some other speech issue. I only "stutter" at the beginning of sentences. What happens is I usually try to say something (usually the words "what", "did", "who", "where", "why", "do", etc), but it comes out strangely and I end up saying something like: "D. Do. Do. ... you serve ice cream here?" Or on the phone saying, "Heh.Hah. Hi my name is throwawayintoface." Or sometimes I say "Diu know how..." instead of "Do you know how". I "stutter" the first word, and sometimes have to pause for a few seconds before continuing on, while the rest of my sentence is completely normal. Is this a stutter? I also notice that the first word of sentences is hard to pronounce and sometimes I feel like I'm short of air, but I actually am not.
