No: but it sounds like angioedema. Try antihistamine up to 4 doses per day to see if this helps. If you experience massive tongue or any throat swelling, rush to the ER. The cause for angioedema is often unknown.

Allergic reaction: You may have an allergic reaction. This could be a food, medicine, or environmental source. Take an antihistamine for the swelling, and keep an eye out for whatever you were exposed to. If you were recently placed on a new medicine, stop it and call your doctor. If you start having trouble breathing or inability to swallow, call your doctor or go to the ER. Hope this helps!
