Is it possible to swallow your tongue?!


Question: Is it possible to swallow your tongue!?
Answers:
yep

during seizures it is always a concern,, I've never heard of a drunk doing it but I guess they certainly could,,Www@Answer-Health@Com

No!. You can not swallow your tongue as it is attached to your mouth!. If you cut it out, you could swallow it, but in normal situations it is not possible!.

People often say that you can "swallow your tongue" if you are passed out!. What they mean is, that the tongue can fall back and cover your airway so that you can not breathe!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Only partially!. In some cases, if you're having a seizure and your tongue is all over the place, it will occasionally go back into your wind-pipe!. Of course, that wouldn't be "swallowing" if it went into your wind pipe rather than down your gullet!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yes, or at least it seems to be possible on tv and in movies!. When someone is having a seizure, they try to hold them down from thrashing around and hurting themselves, and they also try to hold their tongue so they don't swallow it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
