I have one hot water faucet in my upstairs bathroom that when you turn it on the pressure drops and almost no water comes out. It is the only faucet in the entire house that does this. Can someone give me a simple solution to fixing this, I will even take a not so simple solution if it will fix the problem. Thank you all in advance for your help.

Does this happen on JUST the hot side, or on both the hot and cold? If it's happening on both hot and cold, clean the aerator. If it's JUST the hot side, you probably have a clogged supply line or valve. Could be that the washer in the shut off valve has deteriorated. Or it could be that the hot valve or washer of the faucet itself is bad. I would start with the faucet and work back towards the pipes in the wall.
