Tongue swelling: If it makes you feel any better, you may still be able to breathe if your tongue is swollen, but you may not be able to talk well. Tongue swelling usually can happen with a hereditary condition, but you will have many members of your family who have swelling of their skin or face.

No: If a bee sting or sleep apnea occur than tongue will swell or airway can be partially blocked.
