Has anyone had a swollen tongue?

[lmcc87]

The past two weeks I've had a swollen tongue/throat. My throat is red also, I went to my doctor and low and behold he diagnosed me with some weird name and in lay mans terms it's a classic case of anxiety! The more I look/feel/touch it, it feels worse. And I have teeth marks too and it's mostly cause I'm tense and my tongue is pushing against my teeth. Hope this helps!

Thank you, lmcc87, it does! By the way, where is your throat red? Is it at the back of your mouth, or further down? I'm seeing an ENT soon who will do a scope. I expect he'll find evidence of acid reflux, but I'm especially eager to hear his opinion of the tongue swelling. Did your doctor explain how anxiety can cause it?

lmcc87, did your doctor also explain how anxiety can cause your throat to become red?

lmcc87, how are you doing? My 'enlarged tongue' episodes still come and go, and my voice has slowly gotten more raw over time. Curious whether you got any answers.
