Lump in tongue

Then Rebecca you DO need to see both your GP and a dentist. It is a pity you didn't go to your dentist when visits would have been free. Re your GP he does need to check your inflamitory markers. I quite understand that you may be reluctant to mention these problems. However there is just a chance that they may be related. Please just ask your GP to do bloods for inflammatory markers especially if you have had mouth ulcers, a sore mouth, or if your eyes have been sore too. It may just be that you are run down and coping with an active toddler, but you are obviously worried and that won't help. You do need to get to why you have IBS. The symptoms you describe may be related so please see both your GP and dentist. 

OK well now your making some sense to me! Have you had irregular painful periods by any chance? As you fed your baby, did you have plenty of milk? By any chance do you have acne still, an itchy scalp, or unwanted hair?  Endermetriosis is often caused by a common female condition called PCOS Polycystic ovaries. If that is your problem then that accounts for the lumpy breasts and possibly the gland in your neck. I was diagnosed age 15 BUT it wasn't called that in my day. I had 4 sons. If this is your problem you may have a family history of Psoriasis, colitis, Chrohn's or urinary tract infections. I had thrush both oral and vaginal from a teen. If you feel weak, do you mean physically weak or its it feeling dizzy or faint when you stand up? Hid you have severe morning sickness? If you feel dizzy upon standing are you by any chance double jointed? If so look at POTS UK. You do need to see a doctor. If you are double jointed that might be the reason for the lump on your tongue or you may be getting other problems relating to either rheumatology or endocrinology please don't feel your a nuisance to your GP thet is what he is there for! 

Periods are pretty regular (just getting back to their regular pattern after breastfeeding as they were quite far apart when they started back. They're heavy and painful ish but nothing extreme. Last 2 have been heavier than normal and last one in particular was more painful than usual. I had a normal amount of milk I think. Baby was satisfied and well fed but I didn't make exessive amounts to the point of leaking. In fact I didn't even need breast pads. Don't get an itchy scalp or unwanted hair, no. Get the odd spot. More so before and during period but not what I'd call acne. No psoriasis, Crohns, etc in family and never had a uti. Putting a sample in tomorrow to rule one out but I very much doubt that's what caused the pains. Not prone to thrush either, had it a few times during my last pregnancy but also had gestational diabetes so might have been due to that. Just physically weak, not dizzy. Luckily I was never sick during both of my pregnancies. I'm not double jointed no. I wish we could consult with our go online like this so when you actually go they have all our worries there in front of them. I go to pieces once I'm in tbere and forget what in supposed to say.

Well the gestational diabetes certainly needs watching, presumably the Consultant did a Glucose tolerance test post the pregnancy. It does sound as if you are having panic type attacks. Are you sleeping well. Please see your GP.

I had a blood test 3 months after I had my baby to check the duabetes had gone (it was fine) also had one about 3 months ago too (also fine) no glucose tolerance test, just a blood test but they said that's all I need. I'm sleeping ok. Sometimes takes me a while to actual fall asleep but once I'm asleep I'm fine. Struggle getting up in the mornings because I'm still tired and have been falling asleep during the day. I have booked the dentist. Got an appointment this Thursday. Luckily I'm still on their books. I haven't been since May last year.

I had the lump checked by a dentist he said it was ok. He looked at me as of to say "why are you even worried about this" as for the other symptoms, they were put down to anxiety so not related! Some are actually still ongoing. The lump is still there I try to ignore it now. Please see your dentist though because I'd rather someone professional looked at it rather than you just taking my word for it that mine turned out ok. I'm sure yours will be too but still make the appointment.

Hi Rebecca. I know this post is old but I thought you might get an email. I'm going through the same thing for 3 months. I've stopped breastfeeding my chikd, he just turned 3. At first tinglings in my head, hands and feet, spine. Then I had difficulty of swallowing, pain in the right side of the throat. My sublingual gland under the tongue is slightly swollen, irritated. I noticed a small bump under the tongue, less tahn 0.5cm. When I touch the tongue I can feel sausage shaped bump. When I press it's painful otherwise I have no pain. The sides of the tongue back near the throat are also swollen. What's the most scary is that I ahve soreness and numbness of my chin. I'm so scared. So far I've seen an ENT dr who just did a quick look in my throat. Said there's nothing. Had an MRI of head, it's clear. Blood test cae back with high WBC and neutophils. What happened to you? How's your tongue? did you get checked up?

Did you have this checked? Any answers? I have had a pea sized lump inside my tounge for years (I think, my head now questions whether it has in fact been there for years) im off for a ultra sound as i finally showed doc. I had a mammogram recently which came back fine but found an enlarged lymph node under each arm so now im freaking out thinking im riddled with cancer 😳
