Docs, quick question on weird thing
 

Kinda freaked me out.

When I brush my teeth I always brush my tongue as well. When I do this I usually gag a little, but this morning I gagged a little harder than usual. After I wiped my mouth I looked up at the mirror and my face was a little flush (nothing too odd there obviously) but then I noticed it. Just off the outside corner of my right eye was a bulging blue "bubble" maybe the diameter of a pencil eraser... obviously a blood vessel caused by the exertion. It didn't pop or anything, it slowly went down and now there is no evidence it ever was there, but now I'm wondering if I should be concerned. So I guess that's it, should I be concerned? Is that vessel now "weakened" and susceptible to future issues?

note: It was maybe 1cm off the outside of the eye, in the skin near the edge of the orbital bone (I think that's the right term). Thx..

I can't believe this has gotten over 40 views and no one has told you to get your butt to a doctor.

Dude, get your butt to a doctor.

Good morning! House call doc here.

1. Don´t worry about it.
2. Stop your masochistic tongue-brush routine.

What does his butt have to do with this?

Seeing "butt" and "toothbrush" in the first two posts of the same thread means it's a thread to pay attention to.

Thanks Livi! I assumed I was just pinching off a vessel with the muscle strain or whatever. Is is more likely to burst now? What exactly would happen if it did?

Indeed! :)

You either need to back off the tongue brushing a bit or go watch some Linda Lovelace for proper technique.

maybe someone put your toothbrush in a dirty place......piss off anyone in the house lately?
