Glad to hear you're ok. Chewing on your tongue might be possible in your sleep, as others have stated. I myself got my tooth chipped (good story behind that), and in the mornings I would wake up with a swollen tongue. Figured after awhile that my tongue was pushing up against and running over the chip in my tooth. It's since smoothed out, but I still like to make sure it's there.
And I've gotten inflamed tastebuds before. They get kinda white. sucks when they rub up against a tooth
