Lowered posture???: It may be that you have a lowered tongue posture. Normally your tongue should go to the top of your mouth, but sometimes a person has a lowered posture. That may be why you feel you have this sensation. I would check with your dentist or physician to have them check your tongue posture when swallowing. That can be done with a dye to see where your tongue travels during swallowing.
