Large Tori: Although without examining you personally I can't say for sure, in over 40 years of practice I have never seen or heard of large palatal tori causing any of your symptoms. Oral Surgeons can and do remove tori. See one for a consult to examine you and answer all your questions. Risk is mostly bleeding and soreness. See a physician regarding difficulty swallowing\breathing!

Oral Surgery: Sounds like a consult with an Oral Surgeon would benefit you. They would likely discuss the risks and benefits of the procedure. Then you can decide what is best for your safety and quality of life.
