Hello everyone,

Me: 30 yo, recent extensive blood tests came back on except for higher than normal hemogloben (gradual increase over 3 years)

I drunk heavily in 2018 other than that I don't drink.

I smoked meth regularly in the year 2019 and I quit jan 2020.

I dont smoke cigarettes or anything else.

I have seen a dentist when it was originally a painful ulcer and she couldnt see anything wrong with it. Its been in my tongue now for 3 weeks. It has changed from painful to no longer painful. I can feel two hard tinytiny balls in the side of my tongue and theyre not painful unlesss i squeeze them hard.

I saw a GP and he said it could be thrush, gave me some tablets to suck on and said come back in 3 weeks.. I'm worried this is something far more sinister and I dont want to wait 3 weeks if people here can give me a reason to go back and demand I get a referral to the ENT.

Am I being ridiculous?
