you may be having an allergic reaction
or vitamin deficiencies can be many things
doctors make various diagnoses of the general diseases for many generations

Check out what you're eating as of late... you may be mildly allergic, so if you continue to eat this food, it could indeed hinder you getting required air! Also, if the swelling doesn't go down, "screw" your lack of insurance, get to a "free clinic" if necessary, but get that checked out! I dread to mention the "c" word, but it can take hold of many places on the human body, and being the tongue is near the lymph nodes IE tonsils & endocrine system, it could become really bad or "problematic" for you.
I believe people get cancer where they "hold" their stress... where do you hold yours? Think hard about that, and try to alleviate as much stress in your life as possible. More impotantly, stress in unavoidable so ask yourself if you are up to speed on the ways to "handle stress" or get a "handle" on it... which ever way you wanna put it.
If you're going into what they call anaphelectic shock, then call 911 or you may not be able to breathe minutes from now!

see the doctor ASAP, u might have an allergic reaction to possibly meds your taking or something. But see the doctor to make sure. Go to a Free Health Clinic or go to a hospital that is related to a University, they can help you very much so or Planned ParentHood(they can help too).If it gets worse emergency room. Don't put your health at risk.

You may have no choice but to go to an emergency room. If your tongue keeps swelling you won't be able to breath at all. Most hospital emergency rooms offer payment plans for the uninsured. I'd go that route if I were you.

no, this is normal in those with a pea size brain, like yours.
try sticking a large, pointed object in it. this should shrink it a bit.
if this doesn't give satisfactory results, lay your swollen tougue on a table saw equipped with a fine toothed blade. saw off desired tongue stuff till you are able to function normally.

You may have mono (not sure exact symptoms) or allergic to something.
