A member asked:
Hi. i was just wondering. if you have never had a swollen tongue. is there any reason to fear that it will happen? or is this just common anxiety?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Anxiety can manifest: in many bodily fears and fear of tongue swelling can be one. If your doc has cleared you of medical issues see a mental health professional who will help w/your GAD. Stress management can help a lot, as can clinical hypnosis. Peace and good health.
