A member asked:

Swollen uvula, mild discomfort in throat. i have anxiety, could this be attributed to that. i also have to take ranitidine for stomach issues.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Uvula: This can be swollen from infection or from acid reflux or from excessive snoring in some cases. An examination would be needed to try to narrow this down. Anxiety doesn't have anything to do with this.
