Tingling in the tongue, what can it be?

Expert answer:

The most common causes of tingling in the tongue are anxiety and cardiovascular disease.

Tingling in the tongue that happens frequently or with long duration is generally reported by people who have some degree of anxiety. It may just be normal day-to-day stress, or it may be some form of anxiety disorder that needs to be treated with psychotherapy or medications.

On the other hand, intense tingling and sudden onset may be a sign of serious cardiovascular diseases such as stroke or stroke.

Other, much less common causes include traumas (strokes) in the mouth and face, tongue bites, local inflammations and infections, and even some tumors.

In any case, a general practitioner needs to be consulted so that the person is examined and diagnosed more correctly. This will allow referral to a specialist or immediate start of appropriate treatment.
