Heightened awareness about tongue
Hi, please help. I am highly aware about the positioning of my tongue when I am not speaking. I read about how it is rested on the upper palate, and this information just randomly popped in my head and now I can't stop being aware of my tongue. I am paying too much attention to it. It's getting irritating and I am getting distracted by it so much that I can't focus on anything else. It's like I have heightened awareness about my mouth and salivation process. It seems that my lips and tongue are different from what they seemed to be earlier. I also have jaw pain and constriction. It's like my mouth is getting smaller and the jaw can't fit in there. I feel like stretching it over and over again by opening my mouth widely. There's swelling on the right side of the lower jaw (I can see it from outside on the jawline). I have had an X-ray a couple months back and got to know that it could be because of wisdom tooth. Sometimes, the teeth seem like touching each other too.
