What Causes Tightening At The Tip Of The Tongue Like Muscle Spasm?

Hi. I'm female, age 40, 5'6" and 128 lb. I moved from a northern region of the U.S. to a southern region 1 1/2 weeks ago, and yesterday began having a strange symptom -- the tip of my tongue keeps tightening, like a muscle spasm, but no pain. Makes speaking very difficult! It happens several times throughout the day -- is this something I should be worried about? Thanks and kindest regards, KK

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The tightening of the tongue can occur following healing process of the ulcer or any wound or in case of oral submucous fibrosis. consult a oral physician and get these things ruled out. if it is a healing process then nothin to worry, if it is OSMF then it has to be treated.
i hope my answer will help you. take care.
