Question 3

i have a strange tongue with toothmarks an both sites.  little burns and i am verry tired.  what can this means?

Accepted Answer

Sleep difficulty: The marks on the side of your tongue are from your pressing your tongue forward into your teeth while you are sleeping. However, your fatigue indicates that you are not having a restful sleep, and the tongue thrusting seems to bear this out. Perhaps a visit to a sleep center and a sleep study is in order.
