Is Scraping Of Tongue On Teeth A Symptom Of Anxiety?
I keep having the urge to scrape the right back side of my tongue on my teeth...do not understand why. I'm not on any medication (I do take a baby aspirin daily due to a stroke I had last year). Since my stroke I've been having anxiety from time to time. Could this be from anxiety?

Brief..Yes it can be because of anxiety.and sometime it can be just a habbit or because of infection too.
Detail..
