Tongue feels as if it's swollen????

Anyone ever get this feeling from stress tension anxiety? My tongue, mostly near the back of it, feels like it's swollen and strained. Then I worry that it will keep swelling and I won't be able to breathe.

 

I hope it's just another of the many physical symptoms brought on by chronic anxiety. I'd feel better if anyone could relate and reassure me I'm not getting another disease......thanks hypochondria, I really need more things to obsess about.

 

Thanks for all replies.

I can't address the sensation of a swollen tongue but this video may help.

 

I have had various sensations in my neck and throat and even went to an ENT who dxed globus hystericus. 

It probably would help to see a doctor if only for reassurance.

 

i got a sore tongue.  even had red spots and welts when i went down too fast on ativan.  havent had it much lately.  hope yours gets better

Hello.

I can totally relate. My tongue feels swollen a lot of the time. It feels awful and I worry I'm going to swill ow it or something . I've had that sensation for awhile now but it comes and goes. I'm not a dr either so you do what make sense to you, but I most defiantly have dealt with that and severe dental pain. I chewed on a tooth brush for months. Seemed to effect my whole head and neck .

 

It will pass !

Inexperienced this symptom while I was on klonopin but not while on X. I found continually sucking on cough candies helped.

Awful sensation. I'm sorry you have to fight through that. Hope it's short lived.

I have this mostly on the right side in the back. My glands also hurt under that side. I worry about this. I went to ENT and he didn't find anything but I'm going back to a different one next week. Hope you feel better.

My glands are also swollen all over my head and under the ears and jaw line. dr gave me a CAT scan and it showed all the swollen glands but he didn't no what to do. They went back down  a few months into my c/t but when I reinstated and began to taper, they have started to swell again.

 

I hope that puts u at ease a little

Thanks Buddies for your replies.    I think it's anxiety related as it comes and goes. After I posted the question, the swelling sensation/feel like it may choke me, subsided. It did come back today but I'm feeling anxious/stressed again so the subconscious strain I have in my jaw and mouth must have something to do with it. I also noticed my tongue pressing on the roof of my mouth so chalk it up to part of the withdrawl and carry on!!!

 

Thanks again.

Same thing happens to me so your deff not alone
