Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have dizziness and swelling in the tongue. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like nerve entrapment , neuropathy, diabetic neuropathy, multiple sclerosis, diabetes multiple sclerosis , dry mouth and stress . I would suggest you to consult general physician for proper examination . Doctor may order nerve conduction test and take history to confirm the diagnosis . Doctor may prescribe nerve supplement or may consider surgery in severe nerve damage . Doctor may also refer you to endocrinologist for diabetes or or neurologist for nervous system problem . For now keep yourself hydrated , do warm saline rinses and maintain proper oral hygiene .

Hope your concern has been resolved.
