I understand your concerns about your fissured tongue, sores, and possible connection to acid reflux. While I can't diagnose your condition or offer medical advice, I can provide some information and suggest next steps: regarding your fissured tongue: fissured tongue is a relatively common condition, affecting up to 5% of the population. While the exact cause is unknown, it's usually considered harmless and often doesn't require treatment. Sores or pain associated with fissured tongue are less common. If you're experiencing frequent sores that heal and reappear in different areas, it's important to seek further evaluation from a doctor to rule out other potential causes. Regarding your acid reflux and metallic taste: although uncommon, acid reflux can sometimes reach the mouth, potentially causing irritation and a metallic taste. However, a normal endoscopy makes this less likely. Other factors, like certain medications, nutritional deficiencies, or even dry mouth, can also contribute to a metallic taste. Your doctor can help determine the potential cause. Next steps: schedule an appointment with your doctor: discuss your concerns, the ongoing sores, and the metallic taste episode. Share your blood test results and mention your anxiety. Consider consulting a specialist: depending on your doctor's assessment, they might recommend a referral to a gastroenterologist (for further acid reflux evaluation) or an oral pathologist (for specialized examination of your tongue). Manage your anxiety: while waiting for your appointment, practice relaxation techniques like deep breathing or meditation to manage your anxiety. Remember: a fissured tongue itself is not considered a serious illness. Frequent sores on your tongue could be due to various causes, some of which might require treatment. Consulting a doctor will help clarify the cause of your symptoms and determine the appropriate course of action. I hope this information helps ease your anxiety and guides you towards proper diagnosis and treatment. Please don't hesitate to ask further questions or share any additional details that might be relevant to your situation.

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. Because the skin is not broken in a bruise as with a scrape or cut there is little risk of infection. Repeated bruising of an area can leave permanent yellowish-brown staining from iron depositing in the skin. Bruises usually last about one to two weeks, though some may take a little longer to heal. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.
