How to cure tightness and swelling in glossopalatine arch in mouth?
Patient: I have a tightness and swelling in my Glossopalatine arch in my mouth with developing black bruise looking marks on my cheeks inside my mouth.  Over the weekend I had a stress test with radioisotopes, and a CT Scan with dye.  I had severe pain, difficulty breathing, and my D-DImer was elevated, but they never found a clot. Are they related? Doctor: helloi have gone through your query.A nuclear stress test measures blood flow to your heart muscle both at rest and during stress on the heart.this test is done to look for a coronary artery disease or another heart problem, test can be done to pinpoint the cause of symptoms such as chest pain or shortness of breath.D-dimer test can be performed when conditions such as acute deep vein thrombosis is suspectedD-dimer values i dont thnk your palatoglossal swelling is related to your heart condition or any of these recent tests.swelling in palatoglossal arch can be due to an infection mostly a viral or strep infection.for bacterial infection you need to take antibiotics.maintain proper oral hygieneas you might seem to have a heart condition i wud suggest you to visit a doctor before taking any medicationHope this ans helpsDr. Shesh
