items to wear for the reception usage

Well, I'm scared ! Has anyone had problems with biting their tongue in their sleep, and then it becoming strangely numb/asleep? It's been over a week and I can't even put my tongue piercing in without it feeling strange, and only the tip of my tongue is numb .. and whenever I become stressed it gets worse? Help? items to wear for the reception usage :/ calling the doctor tomorrow but I'm nervous
