Result of atherosclerotic plaque blocking one or more of the blood vessels that supply the heart. Can cause chest pain/angina pectoris occurring due to stress of exercise. If blockage completely impedes blood flow to the heart, a heart attack can occur.
It can be caused by insect stings, food, or medicines. It's caused by the release of histamine into your bloodstream and tissues. Histamine is an immune system chemical. Tongue or throat swelling can happen along with an allergic rash (hives), wheezing, diarrhea, and shock (low blood pressure).
A swollen tongue also can be a cause of the breathing problems, if the tongue swells enough to block the throat. The issues that occur because of a personâs allergies may appear on just one area or may affect the personâs entire body.
