Good Morning
I am hoping someone can put my mind at rest... you know that nagging little voice....
I posted a week ago about a lump below my gum - finding it sent my ha sky high and some lovely people posted to say they had them etc. I actually saw my gp later in the week for something unrelated (and non panicky) but mentioned it. He confirmed it was a cyst and I could have had it years.
My other issue now is a burning tongue feeling - which I have never had before but I thought may have been anxiety related. It started about 3 weeks ago and feels like I have burnt it - especially the tip. It was also around the time I discovered red wine (normally have white) - the drinking 1/2 bottle most evenings also set my ha off. When I saw gp I said stupidly that tongue was burning a bit but I knew it was prob anxiety - so he did not pursue it.
My question is do others have it? And has anyone got rid of it? I read a post on here and I know it can be ha. I am reluctant to go to gp again - as always going and it may be anxiety. With the gum lump I was scared of oral cancer - tongue burning is not helping now. Tongue looks mainly normal apart from when I stick it out as far as poss and then I saw several white bumps right at back - are these normal too? Frustrated as I would not have seen the tongue bumps if tongue did not burn as I know it is not normal to stick tongue right out and examine it.
Any reassurance gratefullly received.... xx
