About A Year Ago, I Was Under Severe Stress. I

About a year ago, I was under severe stress. I started to have a dry tongue especially at night. I wake up every night about 3 times to drink sips of water. It progressed to a swollen tongue, and swollen salivary glands that do not change with antibiotics. I was referred to an ENT doctor. He did a scope of my vocal chords, they were fine. I am having some slurred speech. He ordered a brain MRI. It showed no issues, except a slight lower oxygen level in the brain. I sometimes have difficulty breathing, especially at night. I went to a Oriental Medical Doctor/Accupuncturist/Herbalist. He said my neck, throat, tongue, salivary glands are all swollen and that my immune system is low. He has been doing accupuncture and given me herbal pills every other day for the past 2 1/2 weeks. I am having some difficulty breathing right now.
