Hello,

Thanks for consulting HCM,

Read your query, as you have tongue bitting this can be due to stress , anxiety , irregularly placed tooth , sharp cusps of teeth ,or swollen tongue due to drug induce also cause tongue bitting .
Dont be worried so much I will suggest you to consult dentist and go for examination of sharp cusps of tooth and placement of tooth in oral cavity and rule out the caus of tongue bitting .

Hope it will help you.
Wishing you good health.

Hello,

Thanks for the query.

As per my knowledge the tongue biting has no relation with the blood pressure medicine. The biting of tongue with the medicine change can be just a coincidence.
Please visit your dentist for oral examination. Chance of sharp teeth or irregular teeth, nutritional deficiencies are the prime reason for tongue biting.
After proper examination and investigation he will provide you with the proper treatment.
