What Causes Heaviness In Tongue?
It's weird, I know, but I'm having a "heavy tongue" feeling. It's discomforting and disquieting because it's such a strange kind of feeling. I'm 65 years old with no real health issues and I am trying to allow my mind to distract me from this heaviness. But, there's little I seem to be able to do to relieve this awkward feeling of tongue heaviness. Am I unique in having this condition?
