Anxiety and tongue

post #1 of 13

Thread Starter 
So lately I have been under a great amount of stress, and I have this feeling like my tongue is too big for my mouth and I also clench my teeth. Well, the combo has let me to develop some raw spots on my tongue from the rubbing. So my questions are:
1) Has anyone had stress/ anxiety to lead to this?
2) Any way to make it go away? Both the raw spots and the "large tongue feeling".

Any help would be appreciated.

Many people clench their teeth from stress. I would say, for the mouth sores, gargle with an equal amount of peroxide and water mixed together, 2x per day.

As for your tongue feeling too big for your mouth, it seems like that is a symptom of the anxiety. So, it might help to try to deal with whatever is causing the stress. Relaxation exercises, self-care, and therapy may be good outlets.

To relax, do Doubletime Breaths - Breathe In 1-2-3, Breathe Out 1-2-3-4-5-6

Whatever the inhale time is, double the exhale time.


Chew some really minty gum, like Polar Ice

Check blood sugar major cause of anxiety and Carlson Labs Holy Basil will destroy anxiety within a week but take with a sweet low carb drink as it does tend to lower blood sugar slightly it is the best cure you will find I bought thousands of dollars worth of supplements before I discovered it

Can you find that 'holy basil' at a place like GNC?

the tongue can be too big for the mouth. it's not an uncommon problem. you are probably just noticing it. I always have teeth impressions on my tongue. anxiety can cause teeth clenching and I do it daily.

Holy basil is planted in almost every single house in north india and is often used fro a wide range of treatments they have used it for thousands of years its use was first documented in ancient scriptures and it cures many ailments that is testing enough for me and the fact that after I take it anxiety is destroyed within an hour

Amazon is probably the best place to get and Carlson labs brand although cheap is the best I have ever tried

Cool thanks, I'm going to try it, just still can't find the Carlson labs version on Amazon so I got the Swanson brand instead.
