Swollen Veins Underneath Tongue

Bennyjaq: Did this get resolved? I have one of those white pointy things, too. Mine went away, but now it's back.

I have the same problem. And ive been looking it up for hours and cant find anything on it. Has anyone had any success in finding out what this is?

ya, strange just happened to me.. I was sitting on the couch and all of a sudden my tongue was on fire and one of the veins under my tongue got huge, felt like i had a worm under my tongue.. FREAKED me out. I stayed calm and drank some cold water for the burning, and withing 5 minute everything went back to normal. Was that about? The only foods I had all day were a protein shake for breakfast with an energy drink (speed stack) and later snacked on some blue corn organic chips (high in salt)

I have the same problem. I started with me tasting something draining under my tongue. Then notice something white on the vein, then something long and white came out...twice after feeling swollen. Went to doctor, but was told to go to ear,nose and throat doctor. rinsed mouth with peroxide rinse, felt burning from the vein. still do not know what this is and what causes it or a cure. All of this started a month ago.

I wish someone knew what this is because I have it too... so strange!

One thing I noticed is that I lisp now and I never had before. And I'm not sure if it's due to this swollen gland or due to a mini stroke I suffered last week.

Do any of you lisp when you speak certain words? (try words like "sixth" "desktop" "seven" "seventh" "seen") ..something strange when I say words with "S"s in them,

Would like to know. If it's the swollen gland then I don't have to fear that the mini stroke I had causes this strange lisp that I never had before (I had major slurring during the incident and a lisp but the slurring went away but I still have a lisp!)

I have the exact same thing, and sometimes I also get a big lump on my throat, on the same side as the swollen vein under the tongue. It comes and goes. This time it's bigger and more painful than ever, and I even have a light fever. A question to all of you seem to have the same thing: Do you all use a strong mouth wash, such as Listerine? I use Listerine vigorously morning and night, and I keep the mouth wash in my mouth for a few minutes before spitting it out, and I also gurgle with it. I was wondering if this could have anything to do with it.

SRW787...I believe you are right! it is mouth wash. I started doing it Monday and by wed my tongue and underneath were burning. Still does right now because I washed my mouth with it two nights ago. It has to be that, I've never experienced this before until this. I've been using Crest. Hope this helps, I will let you know if it goes away since I stoped using it

I think it has something to do with it. For me, I have the same exact problem but I think my toothpaste affected it. I kept my toothbrush in my mouth for a bit too long I believe.

It seems like I have the same thing. Under the right side of my tongue I have this "bubble" that will swell so big that you can, like, see through it, almost & it has like a division down the middle. It is, as though, there are two or one that has swelled into another part. Like a cell that is multiplying into halves.

My boyfriend says it looks like a blood blister but I don't really see blood or see it bloody inside, a lil veiny maybe.

When it is not swollen & "bubbled" up, it almost goes all the way down to normal but I can see a couple of white spots.

Some months ago I had a molar (2nd to last tooth on the r.side) pulled out and since then I have bitten my tongue (UNDER my tongue)a few times which is right in that exact spot (same area with a couple different spots within that small area). So, I'm wondering if the "white spots" are my bite marks. When I bit under my tongue it was super painful because that skin is so thin & whoever heard of anyone biting "UNDER" their tongue??

I figured out I must've been turning my tongue up & sideways to expose that area of my tongue to the area of the lost tooth thereby making it more vulnerable to biting. Make sense to anyone??

I've googled it & that's how I got to this page. I read some stuff about salivary duct blockage & also swollen white bumps on tongue (tip & sides, one or a few). Although, those two are different (I think) but I understand the white bumps on tip of tongue are swollen taste buds resulting from salty or spicy foods and will go away in a couple of days & NOT to take them off (which I never have!) I wonder if the two are related or are the same thing.

I haven't had a chance to look more into blocked salivary gland or duct or salivary stone. I also noticed when my "bubble" is swollen & I thrust my tongue or the "bubble" spot towards the front of my teeth to get a closer look, that looking behind or beyond it that section (like going towards back of tongue yet attached to "bubble") there looks like a slightly swollen linear section too! ! I'm not sure if that is just the muscle from me pushing my tongue forward or if it is more swollen tissue.

So, for now I'm leaning towards salivary duct blockage/stone. I will try lots of water to drink daily & gargle w/hydrogen peroxide, water mix - I eat some unflavored yogurt w/active enzymes? or active something. I will also probably drink some cranberry juice too. I will stay away from salty & spicy foods to see if it clears up! If not, I will have to go to doctor to make sure it's not cancerous.

I will definitely be chewing a lot more carefully too. I will chew slower, NOT talk & chew at same time (which I shouldn't be doing anyway) as well as make SURE my tongue is flat while chewing so I don't bite under my tongue anymore! !
WHAT DO YOU THINK??

This happened to me too. Veins under tongue (sublingual) swollen from normal to 5x size in space of a few minutes and i couldn't talk or eat for around 45mins until it cleared up by itself. Really uncomfortable and painful while it lasted, then back to normal like nothing had happened.
Saw dr today (3 days later) and she didn't know what it was.
Anything to worry about? Seems similar to one of the symptoms of mumps described online, but because it went away so quickly i'm hoping it is nothing?

I have it too. It has come and gone for the past 5 years. I can go months with no flare up and then it can last 5 minutes to a week. It never hurts me it is just really uncomfortable because it feels like there is something in my mouth that shouldn't be there. I am not worried just curious. I have not come across any answers online.

My wife woke up and had the same sharp white spot under the tongue and swollen gland. I did some research and found other people would push on there glands and the white spot would pop out of there mouth like a grain of rice and it worked. White thing popped out with alot of saliva and felt relief only a little swelling but is going down. Hope this helps

Just then I had an issue where it felt like a vein under my tongue swelled up and the muscles in my throat tightened and burned. Now I have a head ache but I don't use mouth wash. Anyone found out what it is yet?
Im not sure if I had the white part issue though if looks like it would if pimples have popped on the vein under my tongue

i found that under my tongue keeps swollen on and off, since the past 26 years! Every time its swollen the vein became harden and painful. After awhile n sometimes longer, suddenly, salty saliva burst out slowly from a small hole on the vein and turn it back to normal.

But now, i'm experiencing different type of swollen at the inner left gum vein and gland under my left tongue. it's already almost 2 months and i only can feel it with my tongue. Cant touch it with my finger or see it with my bare eyes. I'm also feel dryness around the swollen area. If my tongue touched the dry gum zone for few minutes (2-3 minutes), it will sticked a little bit

Wth -_- I was making out and then I realized I got this o_0? Normal!?

If it spreads to the neck it could be cancer. The only way to get rid of it is surgery. Most of these things arent harmful, but have a dentist check you for swollen salivary gland tumors. Hopes this helps everyone...and mine did not come as a result of mouthwash. I was just eating grapes

Try oil pulling ....its a simple yet wonderful therapy ....and im sure it will help....

I have a swollen sublingual vein on the left side of my tongue. It swells till its painful but the swelling comes and goes. There are two lumps on the vein one near the middle of the vein and one near the floor of my mouth.

My gp doesn't know what it is.

Has anyone actually had this and found a resolution?
