What Causes Numbness On The Tongue After Having Large Meal?
I am 55 yo male, with mild anxiety. I just had
A buffett, Asian food with non sweet ice tea
and I have the jitters. My back tongue feels
heavy and a bit numb. It could be caffeine from the tea. However, this often happens after every large meal regardless whether I have tea or not. What is this?
Thanx, Dan

hello thanks for the queiry, numbness of tongue could be caused by lot of things like allergy to food colors, since u noticed after having a buffet, it has other causes such as burning mouth syndrome, any prolonged procedures resulting in nerve injuries during wisdom tooth extraction, root canal treatment, or dental implants,, or lastly even multiple sclerosis,,either ways please consult a oral physician for a check up and treatment..hope it helps,,take care,,
