swollen tongue

[josie1970]

hi all.. hope everyone is feeling a bit better with the spring coming x my question is, i have been diagnosed with hypothyroidism and have been on medication for 4 weeks. i had a very swollen tongue before i was diagnosed but i have been suffering symptoms of hypothyroidism for approx 9 months. my tongue is HUGE with dents all the way down the sides. does anyone else suffer with this? and do you think its connected to the thyroid problems. i also suffer with ear ache.. all suggestions welcome!

thanks for reading

Of all the symptoms of Thyroid, that is one I don't have, although it is one that is an allergic reaction to some medications, think back when it first started, what did you take, and what are you still taking that could have caused it, and what did the MD that diagnosed you with Hypo, say? Anything?, I would definatly have a proffesional check that out, it would seem to be a choking risk while sleeping.  Good Luck FTB4

I had this when hypo and give yourself 2 weeks and you will find the symptoms start to go.
I had dry mouth and mouth ulcers too.
Hope that helps.

Yes, this is a symptom,,,I have hashimoto's and my doctor pointed out my tongue having scalloped sides and being swollen. I'm on 60mg. of armour and it's getting better. Hope this helps
