Your tongue is a muscle, the same as the ones that run throughout your body. Believe me, anxiety can make your tongue ache. Its amazing but it can! I had a massage last night for my neck muscles as these can really effect your throat and I feel pretty good today. Once you get over the hurdle of believing that anxiety can cause this, you will start to feel so much better. Im not saying the symptoms will necessarily go and stay gone, my throat problems started in May and still persist, but the difference is that I dont let it control me now. Its there and i dont know how long it will stay for but i tell myself 'so what'!!!!. I hope you begin to feel like this too.
