In rare cases, this would be possible. Usually HSV-1 is not nearly this severe. Sometimes it is even confused for a pimple, rash, chapped lips...
Smoking, heavy alcohol use, lung diseases such as emphysema, and an inherited tendency toward a narrowed airway and throat all increase the risk of choking during sleep.
No, your lymph nodes swell and cause the glands in your throat to swell also. And in most cases there are little white spots where it's swollen.
What causes your lips to swell and go numb
Allergies are a big cause of sleep apnea - your throat and nasal tissues swell with allergic reactions, and that impedes your breathing.
Pregnancy may cause your feet to swell.
Infections causes it to swell
Yes; the poison in the sting of a wasp can cause allergic reactions. This is especially dangerous if you have been stung in the mouth or throat as the swelling could cause you to choke or suffocate.
because the tonsills swell, it blocks the throat which makes your breathing more hoarse, which effects the lungs because they cannot let out all the air they want to.
For about a week, I've had Strep throat but hadnt been to the doctor. Eventually, the pain got to me and he prescribed me some antibiotics (Amoxicillin Trihydrate). I took my one pill that afternoon, and one after dinner. I took a third one this morning around 6 AM and went back to sleep. I woke up feeling something in the back of my throat i just couldn't swallow. Turns out its my uvula. Since i don't know my regular tongue size (never knew i would need to), im not sure if its my throat slightly swelling again, my tongue swelling (i think that might be it), or my uvula swollen (can that even happen?) Any sollutions?
No. Cracking your knuckles does not cause your hands to swell.
Crohns disease can cause symptoms anywhere in the digestive tract, from mouth to anus. It is unlikely Crohns disease would be the first suspect for a swollen uvula or sore throat but eventually, after eliminating the usual suspected causes, a test for Crohns could verify that diagnosis.
you would explode, due to the pressure, you would swell until you litterally popped
