Sometimes after eating (hard to pin down what exactly triggers it) the right side of my throat, above my larynx, swells up pretty suddenly. It's not hugely uncomfortable, just a little tender...another thing that sometime happens, again after eating, is that the vein under the right side of my tongue really stands up, almost throbbing, again a little uncomfortably. The two things don't happen at the same time, but somehow they feel related...same feeling of discomfort. Any medical Poirots out there? I'd be grateful for ideas? Jezza
